3dCarbon 691039 05-09 Ford Mustang GT Eleanor Style Grille w/ Pony Emblem Top Quality

I bought this grille here...from JW Custom Accessories. The seller is excellent - shipping was fast, and when I contacted them about a missing part (the Pony emblem and mount) - their response was friendly, professional, and the part was in my hands two days later. Will definitely buy from them again.
The grille itself is quite nice, the pony emblem looks good. The material feels like, or close to, stock. Very solid. My only issue is that the two foglight housings aren't quite even in the front (they point out very slightly), so the lights don't fit quite flush inside. The good news is that the lights themselves align properly. In reality - unless you're right up at the grille staring at the edges of the lights - you don't notice the slight offset in the housings.
For installation - I took the instructions that came with the grille...read the instructions in the preceeding comment...and came up with a third method. I tried removing the bumper - but didn't have the proper work space to remove the nuts that hold the bumper to the fender inside. The preceeding instructions are correct, but I found getting at the bottom grill clips to be difficult. The following is what worked for me...I won't repeat the rest of the directions.
I found that to remove the grille...I was best off removing the splash pan from under the car to get at the bottom clips. 4 screws under the bumper, three screws under the engine - and it dropped out. By jacking the car up slightly...I was able to get underneath and easily see and reach all 4 clips on the bottom of the grille.
For installing the lights in the new grille - I found that the provided screws that you're supposed to use wouldn't grip in the inner top mounting points. I ended up using two of the stock screws, and they worked fine.
The grille came with the bright white light bulbs - something I didn't want. I looked at the "custom" bulbs that came with the grille...and noticed that someone had just cut two of the three plastic tabs off the collar. (Actually...one was cut and the other wasn't. Add this to the missing emblem when I first got the kit - 3D needs to work on QC).
Since the bulbs looked to be difficult to change after the grille was in - I bought a new pair of stock bulbs, used a nipper to trim them, and they installed just like the bright white bulbs.
Once I tested the bulbs, wiring, etc - the grille snapped in and I put the splash pan back on.
All in all - I'm pleased with the experience and the product. The problems I ran into were minor.Get more detail about 3dCarbon 691039 05-09 Ford Mustang GT Eleanor Style Grille w/ Pony Emblem.
