kahmann Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I think that probably only works with the black SGT, but I think it looks killer! Has anyone here installed the Prudhomme-style mesh grill on an SGT yet? If so, I'd love to see pics. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doogie65 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 That definitely look better! I think that probably only works with the black SGT, but I think it looks killer! Has anyone here installed the Prudhomme-style mesh grill on an SGT yet? If so, I'd love to see pics. Ken Are you referring to this one? If so, I would like to see one installed as well. Sweet grill, but crazy $500 price tag! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 OH, now i'm PISSED! that's the CS6 grill w/o the fogs basically! I would have paid the $500 for that! didn't even know it was made! it looks like the mesh is silver still though, do they have a black mesh one? do you have a link for it?

jmn444 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Ken, i thought the same at first, but all the gt500's use a black grill regardless of color (i think) and they all look pretty sweet... and the cs6/8 grill looks killer on a white sgt to me, so i don't know...

slbgtsc Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I love the black cs6 grill with out the lights, with the Shelby Letters. Does anyone know if it is available? I know you can get the cs6 with lights and lettering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demon666 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 to each his own. i have 07sgt0666 and i think the retro 1966 grill looks great. it goes along well with the 1966 style paxton i have installed. just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I think my 20's may have killed my retro look more than the black grill would.... but didn't the gt350r's have black grills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rush_junky Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 I like it ! :shades: I've been wondering for awhile how a black billet grille would look. Now I'm really glad I went black on the lower one, just in case I go upper as well. Great job !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildAzCat Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 That really works well with the black SGT. A matching lower gill would finish it off... :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmn444 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 The lower grill and the fog light/brake duct kit is on my list next... I just wanted to try the upper first to be sure i wanted black grills before ordering the lower stuff too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmn444 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 For the lower stripes, I just bought about $5 worth of silver vinyl from the local sign guy, and spent a little time with a razor blade making my own... they aren't perfect in my opinion, but neither are the factory ones... I've noticed that the underside of the splitter already has two small sections torn, I suspect because I might not have cleaned it good enough under there and maybe a rock or two caught the stripe, not really sure, but looks fine on the visible portions so i'm happy!

For the lower air splitter stripes, contact MrFarmdog: http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php?/user/6284-mrfarmdog/ He'll cut them for fit along with providing instructions. Good Luck !

MECH Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I hope I am not hijacking this thread........ since it is about the black grille, I think it fits? I installed both the upper and lower black grilles about a year ago. Although the fit was excellent, the finish is not holding up at all. It is chipped up pretty bad. I have no other chips on the fascia or the hood, but the grilles are looking pretty bad. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this or if I just got some from a bad run? For the amount of work that it would take to have them blasted and powdercoated, I could just buy new ones cheaper. For comparison, I have had a Carriage Works black billet grille on my F150 for several years and many, many more miles and I cannot find one paint chip on that? I love the look and fit of the black billet grilles, but the durability of the finish is aweful. The paint on the running pony emblem is also disappearing? I am just wondering what other peoples experiences are and if maybe I just got some bad ones. I would hate to replace them, only to have it happen all over again?

jmn444 Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Hope mine lasts, but $100 for a new insert every couple years won't piss me off too bad.... guess time will tell! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
