Grille Ideas
« on: September, 20, 2008, 10:23:49 AM »
I'm getting tired of the old OEM grille. I would like to purchase a nice billet grill. I need one for the valance as well. I like Darreld's grille a lot. I did a search on e-bay and didn't come up with much. Anybody have any pics or leads?

I did quite a bit of research on grills before getting mine.  The grill I got was made by Trendz or Trenz IIRC.  I got it from Mustang Depot.  Both the upper and lower grills are available from them.  I hope this helps.  There is another one available from most of the mustang places like Mustangs Plus that doesn't have as many bars.  I don't think it looks nearly as good and it doesn't fit nearly as well either.  I saw one of the other grills at a show this summer and glad I got the one I did.

Different year, but here's the one that came on my '65.  It's OK, but doesn't fit as well as a stock piece...  I was actually thinking of trying to find an original non-GT style grill/pony/corral, etc, to try and "go back" to stock, but I'm not sure how that would look with the hood scoop.  I don't know where the PO got it or who made it.

I've always wondered if this grille would fit in a stock 67-68?  It's a nice piece(s), we used them in my sons car.
