Grill Delete Mod

[SRMobile]

Last night on my way home from a friends, some #$%^& in an integra threw a HUGE rock and it hit my hood and part of my grill.. Its all screwed up. Went to Ford to get an estimate (yeah I followed the car, but I thought it could have been a bird or something, didnt know until I got home) .. Either way, irrelevant, I'm screwed for a hood/grill/bumper repair after driving for 2 months and less then 5000KM's...

So I figure I may as well take out the grill, but looking at it, looks like the Pony is part of the grill... The dealer said that it was pre 99's that were able to do this mod... Is this true ?? Can I still do it ?

Thanks!

Mach 1 grill delete. Got one on order from www.mustangtuning.com


Not that it matters, but the insurance company would have considered it road debris and the other guy would not be liable. Only way you could get money from him is if you scared the piss out of him and he gave it to you himself.

I know how you feel. I had a cement truck fling up a rock and put two big chips in my drivers side front fender about a month ago. I now have about 6k on my 04 GT. Man was I

I have the grille delete and it works perfect!

who all makes grill delete kits???? do the kits come with the pony or can you use the one already on the car....forgive my ignorance....

Steeda, MustangTuning, CDC, and others usually sell the OEM Mach 1 delete kit. MustangTuning is pretty cheap and easy to install. All of the kits include the pony.

Thanks for the support guys.
Man I hear ya I was @#$^ when I got home and saw that... but in the end, what can I do..

So the Mach1 grill delete is the way to go ? If I ordered this through a dealership, would this be the same thing ? I get abit of a discount on parts so I'm wondering what would be cheaper/easier.

Does anyone have the part number for the Mach1 grill ??

 

[Tunez4523]

It is available through the after market companies only I believe. Like someone else posted, Mustang Tuning is the cheapest on it.

Ford has part numbers for everything down to bolts... I guess I'll call and ask.
(I get a discount so they dont jack up the price too much cost + 5%)

Thanks,

Are you seriously thinking that it would be cheaper OR easier to go through a dealership?

This is an OEM part from mustangtuning mach1 delete

If you like the look of no grill then you can get the Steeda grill delete from partshopper for under 50 bucks. It's the exact same ford parts that are one the Mach1. If you really just want a stock grill I'm sure there are a ton of people on the board that have done the delete and would let you have their grill cheap.

Problem I see is that some kits are only 2 pieces.
I went the dealer route and got ALL the stuff for under $70

Here is the how-too:

I have a sister at Ga.Tech, I guess that makes me somewhat biased regardless of this years athletic program

Well, my sister and her husband both graduated from UGA so I guess I am a little biased as well

Mustang Tuning is the way to go. They will ship free with orders over $50. I ordered the grille and Mach chin. They look great. I would post the pic's but can't seem to do it. Stay clear from the dealer though.
