not really but its nice to think i do. my grill arrived! took a while alot of pissing to get it here but its here, im putting it in next weekend. i have noticed some small blemishes in the paint job, has some runs and some pretty small but wide spread scratches on the nose like it was sitting on something for a while and got moved alot. if it bothers me enough i can have it repainted. cause i sure as hell aint giving it up!



you'll also notice the 4:10 gears that are going in shortly, the set of mutha thumpr cams and the headlight splitters, what you wont notice are the set of custom valve covers that will be done shortly. also have a set of custom ported heads being done by my dyno guy(he's a genius, the heads will outflow the ford racing and patriot, and basicaly anything else on the market) going to be an awesome Christmas

I assume you will be modifying a stock GT grill as part of the install, correct? Definitely interested to see how it goes along with any issues you might experience as I plan to add one this winter and already have a "donor grill" sitting in the garage. Did the grill include instructions for modifying the stock grill??

Best advice I can give you is "PATIENCE"! Unless they have made changes, this is not for the faint of heart. I have worked on cars most of adult life and this was a challenge, to say the least. If you'll do a search, there are threads out there w/ pics, etc that I recall from Tekheavy (Evan), myself and others on the install. Just take your time and you'll be fine. Craig

"Modify" the stock grille doesn't come close to what you have to. Destroy would be a better word.

And unless things have changed, you receive no instructions.

As Craig said in his previous post, this install is not for the faint of heart. I do still have the pics from my install if anyone needs them.

WOW!! No instructions provided?? This may have been discussed elsewhere, but has anyone verified if the Shelby billet grill housing would work for mounting this grill??

Any info you have would be greatly appreciated!

don't see how as the billet is too rigid and for it to work properly you would have to cut the billet for lite openings. If you were to attempt this there would be no support to the billet bars once cut. Also, the billit would show behind the CS grille. Look behind the billet grille to see if you have the black plastic GT honeycomb grille supporting the billet. If so, this is what you use to support the CS grille and it to must be cut some for the install. Craig

please do, the pictures would be most helpful in this installation, and no there are no instructions

Armorine, did you buy the complete CS6 grill kit or just the grill insert and the foglights separately? Asking, because I have no need for the Shelby lettering and wondering if either of those come individually with the foglight mounts.
