do the lights look the same color and both beams as your head lights?
Do you have any pics with both head lights and fog lights on (daylight pics)

Last question;
Every set of new style 'aftermarket headlights' I have bought looked good but realy sucked when it comes to actually putting out a usable light beem when compared to stock headlights. How are these to drive in at night compared to stock headlights? Are both HI and LOW beams better, the same, not as good of beam but sure look good??

The Shelby grille looks cool but I don't know why you'd not want the classic oval headlights instead of those jappo looking high intensity spots. The stock ovals are very bright as they are.
But I know it's your pony and of course the stang is perfect for customization to the owners taste. If you like it, that's all that matters.

I am wondering if you hear any thunking noise coming from the front end when you go over mild or small bumps that don't load the suspension to the degree that it's damping kicks in. This problem only seems to happen at low speeds and over small ripples or dips when the suspension barely jounces.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

05SDI: I haven’t seen the lights at night yet so I’m not sure about the colors. All the bulbs can be changed out to match if they don't match. I will post daylight pics of as soon as I get a chance to. The low beams on the aftermarket headlights are good for city driving and the high beams are good for pitch black highway driving, compared to the stock lights they're not as wide but it doesn't effect driving. I haven't had a chance to use the PIAA lights at night.
wolfey2k: The only "tunking noise" you describe that I have noticed has been while driving at around 30mph on concrete pad style roads, its kind of a "dunk dunk.... dunk dunk..." type noise. Anyway I hear the same noise and it feels the same it my father's 03 Jaguar x-type. My conclusion is that it is a normal noise with cars with lower sport suspension.

HIllbank sells them 160 for grille and 175 for the lights. I got mine a little cheaper but of course i got exhaust and bumper at same time for a deal but i have to drive around with their stickers on my car

Still havent got mine though >_<

I just hooked up the lights; they have a blue hue when next to the headlights. I took some pics and will get them up as soon as I get home from work. I also have pics from different angles. I used the pony package wiring, cut the old plug off and crimped the new one on for the PIAA lights. The lights work great. The PIAA lights come with wiring so if someone doesn't have the pony package they can still hook them up, it’s just a matter of running some wires. I haven't brought the hood into paint yet, I just moved into a new house, a mattress was more important... any way the hood will be painted asap.

The HID's go great with the new grill and Piaa lights. Mine are a bit whiter than the head lights also and I bought a new set of Silver Star replacements. Last I heard on the CS-6 bumpers is that there are still having issues with fit anything new from Hillbank on that?

I got my Shelby Grill in a couple weeks ago and am waiting on the OE Ford fog light switch to complete the install. I temporarily used the included wiring which works great but looks like an aftermarket fog light switch when its all said and done.

How was the Quality on your grill? While the grill looks great, I was a little disappointed when I finally got a good look at it. I think I may have gotten one of the late Friday or early Monday grills. I had issues with the hex screws a couple of them ended up without any holes cut into them, had to replace some of them before they could even be tightened. Also courious if you got anything other than wiring instructions with yours.

Ant69- I haven't heard anything new from Hillbank regarding the front bumper. I have to say I was satisfied with the quality of my grille it had no defects, I had to modify the PIAA light brackets a bit to get the proper angles. I was a little disappointed on how much work had to be done for the price I paid. I didn't receive any instructions with the grille but I emailed Hillbank and posted on the Shelby forum and got immediate responses from both. Here is a link to get the instructions. http://forum.shelbyautos.com/index.php?showtopic=295
