gotoatz Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 And not just for dinner, but on the car too!! For some reason, I have never been a fan of the Honeycomb pattern on the newer Mustangs....Yeah, I know, history and all that, but just don't care for it. So, had to grille up to get rid of it.... Also, I had earlier replaced the front side markers with new smoked lenses, but never did find replacements for the rear. So, whilst I was at it, I just went ahead and did everything to see how it would look..... Finally, I got around to reversing the Snakes on the front fenders. When I bought the car a few months back, they were backward. After considerable checking, it would appear they came that way from the factory. And while it was a good conversation starter, it just did not look right. So, I removed em and swapped sides...... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, actually it's a grille overlay. I could not find a straight billet grille replacement, so I compromised with an overlay.

I tried it blingy, before doing the tints, and just could not personally hang with it. So, I followed through with my original plan of rattle canning the grille. The other one I considered was an overlay from Mr. Body Kits, but it was way more money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
