Default I Need Some Opinions!

Okay, I have a dilemma.

I love the fog lights and the pony on my grille. I think it sets off the front nicely. However, I have been a fan of the new Bullitt grilles since the Bullitt came out. I might have the 'GT' emblems shaved off of the car, and the washer nozzles on the hood moved and relocated sometime in the future.

I want to keep the car sleek and clean. To make it look like the meanest thing around isn't my goal.

Should I keep my fogs and horse, the way it is now?

or...

Should I get the Bullitt grille? (The car in this picture had the amber turn signals, I just went into MS Paint and blacked them out so I could get a more accurate representation of what my car would look like.)

Tell me what y'all think. Hell, I still may keep it the way it is and spend that money on something else.

Personally, I hate the bullitt grills. However, I'm just a fan of the fogs. So you can get the bullitt grill, then rig the lights behind them maybe? Or just keep it the way it is up front and do something else.

IF you go with the bullitt,, ID do the fogs eleanor style! i really like the look of all 4 lights together. but bullet with eleanore fogs together at the bottom looks great.. and if possible id put like that bar that goes on the middle of the headlights, the little thin one,, that makes em look SOO BAD ***

Idk tough call. I like how clean the Bullet grill is but I like having the pony on the front. I'd personally go with the billet grill on the Shelby Gt's with the tri-pony on the drivers side. But just get it in black like on the p57 Roush. Maybe put the tri-pony on the bullet grill as another option?

I was thinking the same exact thing, Sean. Maybe get the billet grill and paint it black?

I like the Bullitt grill but on a black car with a stock hood it is too plain for me. But shaving the emblems and winsheild washer nozzeles is a good idea! What about a black bIllett grill?

Damn I never even noticed that the windshield washers where built in the hood like that, ******* stupid design lol. Well one more reason why you should get a cowl hood...

Yeah, the nozzles are right there on the top of the hood. CDC sells a 'washer relocation kit' which I plan on getting. I think I'm the only Mustang person in the world who does not like cowl hoods. I don't think they look right on S197's, not to mention that I am someone who expects something great to be under that hood when you have a cowl. Something should be filling in all that space, haha.

I personally never liked those, either. I'm just picky, I guess.

You guys are no help. 50% on one and 50% on the other!

I think I may keep it the way it is for now and spend that money on shaving the badges and nozzles. I'll get some interior pieces and start saving up for a blower.

I really like my fogs and don't really want to lose them, not to mention that little bit of extra light really helps me at night. I wanted the fogs and pony to stick out and pick up the aluminum lip on the wheels. It is definitely an attention grabber, that's for sure. I think if I ever did get another grille, it would be a black overlay, that way I could still use my fogs.

I just happen to be sweet on the Bullitt grille. I just wanted to see what you guys thought about it.

Sunshine...you are not the only person, I have never liked a cowl hood, plus I am verically challenged and visibility is a real issue for me.

I would keep the stock and smoke the fogs and headlights.

Can you post up the link for the washer relocation kit? I would be interested in doing that, I hate the nipples on my hood!!

I am vertically challenged, too. 5'4", so a 4" cowl hood would completely prevent me from being able to see over the dash. I practically have to sit on the dashboard as it is!

Here is the link to that kit. Hell of a lot cheaper than I originally expected. We'd have to have the holes filled in on the hood afterwards. They just put our nozzles in the stupidest place. They are a pain in the *** to wash and wax around, but I'm sure you know that.

IMHO the bullit grill looks real gay. It makes the car seem like a V6 at night. If it was my choice I'd either move them to the center and get a tri-pony badge on the side, OR keep the where they are. I like the eleanor look, but you'd have to get the whole front bumper assembly to have it that way.

If it was my car I'd be buying the HID kits for both the headlights and the fogs.

HIDs on black stangs pwns anything else. At night it pretty much makes me cry tears of joy.

I don't care if it looks like a V6, especially after I get my blower in about a year or so. I'd rather it look like a sleeper. I think I'm pretty much done with the outside of the car, anyway. I'd rather it look like a wolf in sheep's clothing than a sheep in wolf's clothing, if you know what I mean.

I demand a ride once you get the blower...The sleeper look is always awesome. I have a slow v6 so it's like reversed for me haha.

Not related to your grill, but I suggest some Agent 47 mirrors. Saw them at a show and they looked so badass. http://www.americanmuscle.com/agent4...e-mirrors.html

Agent 47 > anything. Both the upper and lower grille. Get rid of all the crap and plastic in the front of the car blocking that sweet sweet cool air.

You know damn good and well I will pack you all in that beast and take you all for a ride. Stephen can ride in the trunk.

I have been thinking about those mirrors for about a month. I'm still not sure how I feel about them. I kind of like them, but then I don't. They're kind of small. Jury is still out on those.

Definite no on those gay mirrors..

Get a set of HID's or something if you have the mod bug, otherwise leave your car alone and save up for the power adders, it's seks as it is.

Lol. Stephen how many times do I have to tell you, just because you have a cobra front bumper doesn't make it a fobra.
