Installed and adjusted the Steeda adjustable panhard bar. Swapped the factory grill for the '08 Bullitt grill which I modified(all of the holes are open, painted and added the running pony emblem)and "MUSTANG" on the trunk lid.

Bullitt grill untouched

Ok.. this is getting downright freaky. I know it's a camera phone picture, but my car hasn't left the garage long enough to do a photoshoot.



That said, looks great. I was considering to Bullitt grill... But now I definitely have to go with an Eleanor grill. Otherwise our cars would just be too similar.

On a side note, are you letting photobucket resize your images, or how is your resizing done? They're very jagged. It's ok for closeups, the the far away shots get pretty bad. I suggested a couple other people on the forum to get windows xp power toys if you need something free that does a good job. If you have photoshop, that works better. You've got a great camera now... Don't let photobucket ruin the quality of your pictures. Also, flickr keeps full size versions of your pictures, and the resizing it does for you is great. You can choose from several sizes.

Looks great Dawg! I have been curious as to weather the new pony emblems were to big for these grills cause the old school emblems are smaller.

Good job What did you do to make the extra holes? That's one pet peeve I had with the stock grille (fake holes).

LOL! I'm waiting to recieve my painted SHR window louvers in the next several weeks as well
I will try uploading my pics to either Flikr and/or MyPhotoAlbum. I had been resizing using either Photoshop or Microsoft Digital Image Pro 9

That is a fender emblem(V6 Pony Package).

I used a Dremel and spent several hours cutting and sanding. Cut from the backside.

I just don't dig the "Mustang" on the back. Looks out of place to me... And it's not like people need it to be there to know it's a Mustang. That's what I love about the Mustangs... No Ford emblems or Mustang on the outside. EVERYONE already knows what it is... so no need to say it. But the grill looks sweet! Did you just paint the front of it??

Yes, I painted just the very front of the grill with the small brush in the bottle of touch up paint.

At least it's more erect and not floppy anymore.
