sgt1020 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Took out the lower billet grille the other day. I guess you could say I got tired of the look? Looks mean with the opening to the radiator open, plus it's definitely better for airflow to the radiator. Anyone using a black mesh insert to hep protect the radiator? Looking for some other options. I could always just pop the lower billet grille back on if i wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clark17357 Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 In the end, you have to make the call but I aways felt it was a failure of Shelby to not provide the billet for below the bumper stock - to me it looks finished with the billet piece and unfinished without it. I have not had any airflow issues on my car due to the lower piece being in there. Let us know which direction you end up going. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I bought my lower billett grill in 2007 and just installed it recently. I prefer the look of the lower billet grill installation. But I do like your windshield banner. Can you post more photos and where did you buy the banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
young768 Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I liked the opening as well but hated the abuse my radiator was taking so I installed the black billet grill when I did the driving lights. Fools the eye since the grill is black but gives the radiator some protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana Holmes Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hi there, I went with the Silverhorse Racing piece as it matched the honeycomb look of my left/ right lower side pieces. http://silverhorseracing.com/cart.php?target=product&product_id=16192&category_id=255 For me, this is a great look and doesn't totally impede airflow. Plus, you can pop it in and out in like 3 minutes - seriously. It is a super easy install/ uninstall. The billet grille would have looked out of place in my scenario as I still have those stock fake honeycomb pieces on the left and right sides of that opening. A few pics...

michschi Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 ? Hmmm, radiator must be behind this damn thing! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffIsHereToo Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I put the black lower grill in as it matched the black out of the lower facia and blended nicely. I always thought the silver stood out too much and distracted from the clean lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07SGT Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I like the fog lights even if behind the grill. What did you have to do to hook up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Greenwell Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Hi Mike, Okay you need to share how you did this as I have wanted some type of driving light for sometime now. Yours looks pretty good. GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yours looks pretty good. GG google: SD hidden fog lights looks pretty cool That is correct. Just to let you know. There is some drilling involved. When I upgrade to the intercooler kit, the fogs didn't work with the old original brackets sent in the kit so I spent hours trying to get the brackets to work trying different ones that were included, flipping them around etc. etc. and finally came out with the result you see above.

greyracer Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 .When my SGT was new we got caught in a hailstorm near Blairsville, Ga. The hail stones dinged the AC condenser. I did not want the bar grill look so I pulled a trick from the old GT 350 R model book. I took a 65 Mustang (honeycomb) grill, cut it down to fit the opening and installed it. It hides the dented condenser and protects it from further damage. I also installed the Hertz convertible fog lights and the Shelby front disc brake cooling hoses. 58,000 miles and counting.

Wayne Grey Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I have the Lights and Brake cooler installed and was thinking about the lower grill - can it be installed after the lights and cooler has been done - and how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
