Default New grille, decided to modify, what do you guys think?

Bought this new grille, I liked the single center bar style looking to find something similar to the Saleen grille. But once I put it on I noticed the bar didn’t line up perfect with the indent in the headlights(granted it adjustable). It also kinda bugged me that the indents in the headlights have a beveled edge where the center bar had a 90° edge. So seeing that I could simply take the bar off I decided the wide open raptor style look is best. What do you guys think?


Currently how the grille looks now


With the bar, notice it’s down a half inch or so from the indent in the headlights.


The backside of the grill to see how easy it is to take the bar off.

I did the same thing. Removed the single bar. Plus no oval on front. Just a black grille with the 3 amber lights. Understated, yet aggressive, I think.

Your truck looks good! I had my bodyman install that grille after I killed Bambi in January. Also had him install the special edition headlights. I like the look.

Funny you say that, My cousin made the same recommendation when I showed him! Yours looks good! I really like the color matched border.

Looks good! I was thinking of doing a 5.0 emblem in the same location as your cobra emblem!

Looks better without the bar. Also looks like you could adjust the bar up if you wanted to use it.

The blue oval on the blue truck looks good...I would ditch the repetitive license plate on it, though.
