I really like the grill treatment of the V6 better than the GT (but, I want the GT) so I'm wondering does anyone know if the grill part for the V6 can be easily swapped in place of the V8 grill? I'll be ordering the 2011 GT with the upgraded HID lights, too.

Just a couple of clips and screws, just tie up the harness for the fog lights someplace so they're not just hanging there.

I also agree that the V6 front looks much better then the GT.

Opt for the California Special package - I think the front looks great!

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually like the CS version even less than the GT grill. It reminds me of the very worst of the excessiveness of the '70s muscle cars. BUT a CS with the V6 grill might be the way to go.
