bullitt08 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I just received a CS8 grille today and am having problems installing the foglights. Since it came with no instructions, how do the foglight brackets mount to the grille? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pottydr Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 If I may ask, where did you find that grill with the lights?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullitt08 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I found a shop on the east coast that had one CS6 grille still left in stock. Found another shop here by my house that had the piaa lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullitt08 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Well looks like I can get this CS6 grille to work on the GT facia. Hope I can just buy the new CS8 grille and have a shop cut out the foglight holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullitt08 Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I see this but I goofed and bought the Shelby CS6 grille and it doesnt fit into my Shelby Grille housing. I think I am just going to have to buy the new CS8 Grille with no holes and find someone to cut the holes for me. The CS6 grille looks different in the back then the one you have.

bullitt08 Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Actually I think I got the templates for the brackets from you. I have read your posts but from what eveyone tells me I have the V6 version of the grill and it wont work on a GT bumper. They all say I have to have the V8 version of the grill because it is shaped different and has mounting tabs in a different location. No matter what I try this grille will not fit in the Shelby grill housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullitt08 Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 I have tried with no response. The only thing I get from vendors is that the CS6 grille I have cannot work on a mustang GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
