I have to admit I like how it gives the old school effect with the corral around the running horse and all. How bad was the install?

 

[LilBluPony]

Well considering I was told, "it just snaps on", it was HE!!..lol. Had to drill holes into the existing grill, which was a pain in the butt and having to take off the radiator cover. Now I need to buy more lil snap ins for the cover, cause they snapped off and broke. Then the bottom part didn't want to cooperate and fit tight, and they don't give you long enough tabs to stick through the grill and the car part. UGH!! It was a mess, but I'm happy with the look. Total time bout 2.5 hours.

I'd get rid of the front plate with the pony. It, in my opinion, takes away from the running pony in the grill. Double ponies aren't always better.
Grill looks OK.

Yeah, I thought about the plate too. I'm thinking of getting a black one with "Lil Blu Pony" on it in silver. It looks too naked without a plate.

Looks Good.

I had a local guy who does custom vinyl, etc. make me a plate about two inches tall that fits the cutout and engraved MUSTANG on it. It does not detract from the top or bottom grill.
