Well I am getting ready to take delivery on my new 2006 Tungsten Grey Mustang GT. Today I stopped by the dealership to show my girlfriend my color choice. She liked to color. I noticed that all the Mustang that the dealership had on the lot all but 2 of them had warped gilles on them. It happens right under the fog lamps where the plastic grille meets the bumper cover. I guess it's from them setting in the sun all day. Has anyone noticed this on other new Mustangs? If not visit your local dealer and report back.

Someone hit my front bumper when it was parked in a lot. Had the bumper repainted and the grill replaced. The new grill they gave me is warped, looked that way after a few days. Right where you saw it, under the fog lamps. I try not to notice but its tough

Mine is slightly warped as well. I might just go for a Street Scene replacement...

Mines not, there is a small gap but I think that just because the way it is mounted.

thats why you rip the plastic grill and relocate the fog lights and put a nice billet grill,. ford planned it that way man, its a conspiracy
