I got the new grill installed! I'm very pleased with the results.

Its the shelby insert from the Shelby GT. I got it powdercoated black and a repro 66 emblem for the front.

What do you guys think?

I think It looks good. I like the Blacked out look. Does it look like that most of the time or is the lighting?

www.shelbyperformanceparts.com is where I got it from.

I got the emblem from mustangdepot.com

The grill comes with a bracket for an emblem.

Thanks! I think it is the lighting, plus an old 4MP camera. I was going for a darkened look, I plan on darkening up the rear with the CDC cover and then doing something with the fender badges.

It does 'black out' the front quite a bit.

That is exactly what I want for mine! The blacked out grill with pony emblem. I was looking at the Cervini grill, but it's $289!!!!! How about a pic with the front of your car with the sunlight shining on the grill?

Yeah, the cervini grill is way expensive. I was looking for a cheaper route... however buying the extra stock grill nearly made this project as expensive as that. However if you just mod your existing grill it will be far cheaper.

I will try and get a pic up for you this week.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

I'm sick of my fogs. Passenger side burned out over the winter and I've never replaced it so therefore they never get used anymore.

I never used my fogs, I don't drive in the winter and for most of the summer when I drive my car the most it can be light out until 10-10:30 and Calgary has a lot of street lights, half the time the DRL is enough.

I also was never that fussy about the 4 big ass lamps on the front of the car so I wasn't all that upset to see them go when I put my blacked out Cervini in. I might still do some fogs anyways as they're kinda nice to have but I want to stealth install them behind somehow. I just have much better things to spend my $ on that foglights I don't use.
