The Mrs. was nice enough to get this for me for Xmas. Has anyone installed one of these grilles on their own or anyone else's car? I need some hints on how to not screw it up.

Thanks!

I also got a Shelby GT grill

Did you get the one that you just swap out do you have to cutup your original one?

Mine was a swap in. 2 difficult parts. 1. The plastic tabs are very rigid and require a lot of force to unsnap. there are several on the bottom of the grill a couple around the headlights.

The other difficult part was aligning the mustang emblem. The way the bars of the grill are arranged there ended being a slight slant to the pony.

Hope this helps.
