Replace EU Front lower grille with US version

[Notes]

Now you guys got me thinking...

First, I'm convinced the EU lower grill has got to go.

2nd, Replace with US EB lower grill as above? (looks really great) or

3rd, Replace both upper and lower grills with US GT grills?

GT grills on an Ecoboost? I know a lot have done it. I like the way it looks but, don't really know how I "feel" about it. Know what I mean? Any opinions?

I'm in same ball park, I do like both GT grill/fangs and the EB grills (top+Bottom)

yeah GT grille is great, but... I can't.. I can't use the GT grille without a GT

nobody here knows that there is such a thing as an Ecoboost Mustang Mine get's called a GT all the time... and when I correct them... "oh it's a V6?"

Why not use the California Special Grille? It's makes your Mustang not a GT-lookalike but it pretty awesome. But I guess it's kinda expensive compared to a GT grille

That happens all the time to me too. But I'm still a bit of a "purest" I think, so I'll go with the Eco lower grill. Otherwise, there's always the more expensive option of getting a whole new facia, like Steeda or Roush with compromising the look of the model you have. But the Eco grill is fine and individual in itself and people who actually know anything about Mustangs won't snicker.

Don't really like the CS grill. Kinda looks like a Mondeo or Fiesta or something. But Ace, not to change the subject, but we need to chat about Modding in Germany sometime. I started a thread about that. Seems you know a lot more than I do about Tüv and what is legal and what is not...especially lighting.

Ok. Back to the topic.

A European sticky post would be cool, where we can list what & what's not allowed, workarounds etc. specific to each country. Might be a long post though!

Modding in germany is kinda complicated, so I guess it would totally crash such a list.

If you really want to know something about modding in germany feel free to ask me or, if you unterstand german, take a look at mustang6.de

 

[papinist]

For Italy that list could be very short: NOTHING is allowed :tsk:
Then, what we install in our cars is a different story

Finally did it on mine! (post #8)

Only thing I did different [MENTION=12253]papinist[/MENTION] is plug the connectors from that lose wire into the existing holes on the inside of the support bar behind the front bumper instead of taping it to the grille. Not that it matters, for that matter. I can imagine though that's a sucky place to reach without a lift. So duck taping is probably the easier option now I think about it
