New Grille

[anthony05gt]

This is my new grille from Shelby International. I fabbed up the trim rings out of 1/8'' aluminum around the driving lights. The pony emblem is a metal reproduction of the '66 GT350 grille emblem. I have the first grill they sold for the V-8 GT cars and paid $160 for it and $190 for the PIAA lights. They have since marked the price up to $650 for the complete grill including them building it with a new OEM grill for the base which is gutted first. They originally sent the kit to me, but with no instructions, wrong brackets and no support whatsoever. After screaming for 3 days they paid to have me ship it back to them so they could fab up the proper light brackets which are completely different than the supplied V-6 grill brackets. They changed the price on their website to $650 and insist on building them in house from now on.

Never seen one like that....pretty "unique" looking.

There's only 2 like that. The other one is my son's and I made him make the trim rings a little smaller in diameter than mine.

Not my thing, but it's your car so what the heck. This is an example, though, of how mods could actually lower the price of your car used.
Some may love it. Some may not like it at all and not even want the car because of the mods.

Looks pretty good. The only thing I don't care for is the trim rings around the fogs...it seems to deduct from the otherwise stealthy look. IMO I think that would look killer with no fogs. I give it an A+ for fab and install work, but an A- for looks.

i like the rest of your car, but im not really liking your new grill. it doesnt seem to fit your 'scheme'. but if you are into it, then hooyah.

 

[stanmckinney]

To be specific, it is also the trim rings around the fog lights I don't like. Draws too much attention.

 

[anthony05gt]

The pics were taken with the grille and trim rings in mind. Attention drawn to them was my intention. I think it's unique, and I like it. That pretty much sums it up for me. I haven't met anybody yet that didn't like it in person. I definitely don't want other people to do it if you know what I mean.

Anthony05gt,
Nicely done I like it, it gives the car a very menacing look. Especially with the intercooler peaking out the lower valence

Now that grill I will not copy...lol. I'm leaning towardsthe Cervini bar grill, but not liking the stainless look. I may look into having it powder coated black.

Yeah, don't care too much for it. I want the GT500 grille with offset pony emblem. Neat.

Not a fan of either I'm afraid but then I prefer plain grilles like the Saleen or even the V6.

Where did you get your clear turn signals?

 

[anthony05gt]

I got them from thepartsbin.com Stay away from the APC brand that's mostly advertised around. They suck. I've had the ones from the parts bin for months now with no leaks and condensation.

The only aftermarket grill I like on the new stangs are the billet grilles powder-coated black.

 

[anthony05gt]

To each his own!

once again....depending on the car i go for different looks. on my previous car i went with the all black look. i love the chrome billet grill look on these gt's. but besides every1 has different taste, which is better i guess =)

Who has these? I like the Cervini's one, but it is stainless only.
