Obviously not worried about the lack of the pony but why are the grills different? It states its an OEM part. One has more openings than the other.

The bottom one comes primed allowing it to be painted from what I understand. The top is a stock black plastic one. Both are Ford parts.

That is interesting. I'm would love to know the reason for the holes in the left hand opening on the bottom grill.

Performance pack option maybe? Bigger radiator, more airflow?

Those prices are ridiculous..

I bought the GT Grille from Bear Lake ford for like $30.. the bottom grille was $50 and the Pony Emblem was $45..

I don't think that model comes standard on any car or package. It appears to be sold as an aftermarket OEM part for people interested in custom painting the grill.

The AM website references the same Ford part number for both of those grilles, and yet there is a $300 price difference....?????

The bigger opening variants seems to be the export models
