Default Hollow grille scoop

Hi all,

I am looking for a hollow scoop grille for my 2001 GT. I've searched ebay, but almost all of the Billet ones that I've seen have a backing on them. I want to mount a custom light array behind the grille, so I need it to be hollow for the light to show through. Anyone seen anything of the sort?

- Sam

Ill hold back my comments on the "custom light array," but you can always drill out the holes in the stock grill.

IMO it'd be better if you had a fog machine in it to shoot fog out through the grille....more believable than a 'light array' ,lol

Get a nitrous kit w/ purge kit also and arrange the purge to come out the grill! It will be 10x better than a neon light....thats a Honda thing and like 1999ish.

FYi the scoop is closed in for a a reason. It flys off when the backing and or entire grill thing is taken out.

You can set it up so it stays on. Many people have done it.

You know what that means? v6 hoods are more aerodynamic than GT hoods,

Do you have a link to this? I don't want the "glow" style, I am looking for a Knight Rider style of lighting in the scoop.

I've seen the products at ccmustang.com, but that's the glow style.
