hi all just bought my new 05 mustang but unfortunately do to my age 21 I did not get the gt (you know insurance). I want to install the fog light grill like the gts have. On ebay there are a lot of factory take-off gt grills with the lights installed in them.

is there any thing I would need to do special other than wiring, to install a gt grill in to my mustang
thanks

Yes, you need to know that the front end of the GT and V6 models are not the same. The GT grille is not a bolt-in replacement. If you want to go the easy route, pick up this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7969778439&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1

This guy has already done the work to the grille converting it into a bolt-in replacement. Be aware that the bottom lip of the GT grille does overlap the bumper a bit, but as you can see in the pictures on that auction it's barely noticable.

I saw on another site that Ford may be offering a "pony package" on '06 V6 models that includes a different grille that has the corral around the running horse with spears going out to smaller driving lights. The grille looks incredibly close in appearance to the late 60's stangs that had the GT package.

Not really if you buy this kit it comes with a wiring harness. pretty simple to install. I would recommend buying some 3M double sided tape from Auto Zone to replace the white foam sticky stuff that come with the switch. The only trouble i had with my install is that the Gt grill is slightly larger and kind of a pain of neck, but with some patience it will go right in. I recommend this kit.

good luck with what ever you choose;)

Smoov, it appears that's the same kit that I posted a link to, but the user IDs are different. Do you know if it's the same outfit? They even use the same pictures.

Here is the 06 pony grille I mentioned, not sure if this is official or one of those "what if" ideas from Ford.

I think smoov's mustang is on the website.... That looks really nice, and alot cheaper then replacing the whole bumper. Now I want to do it.....[sm=icon_rock.gif]

Hey I got the GT lights and grill as a take off from saleen, and the installation in the V6 is possible and it is a TIGHT fit!, but it improves the front end look.

Street Scenes are working on a V6 replacement setup like the GT grill with lights. There are 4 grill options: black powder coat, black chrome, chrome & brushed aluminum. It should be ready for market end of this month or next month. No pricing has been released yet.

Here's a link to the TMS post: http://forums.bradbarnett.net/index.php?showtopic=24380&hl=street+scene

also you can buy the gt switch and hook up to it using a relay it works fine and retains the stock look i have the wire schems if you need help. and the switch just pulls out. all the wires are there
also here is a pic of the pony pack grill

Does anybody from California (in specific the San Francisco Bay/ San Jose area) have bought the kit from ebay???
i just did last thursday but i've been unable to install it and i really need help right away.. please
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

In case you didn't see it, I posted a reply to your "fog lights upgrade" post. It sounds pretty much like I was told. Some go easy, and some go hard. Jim

thanks i saw it..
do you live around the Bay Area (california)??

Sorry, I live way out in soutwest Missouri.

I bought the kit from West Coast Performance Parts off of ebay and just installed it two days ago. Good kit, people are right, the bottom does stick out slightly, but is not noticable. Had to muscle it in but I researched kits for a month and this one got the best reviews. I like the fact that is mostly stock, fog light switch, grille, fog lights etc. I don't like the 06 fog light kit, I love retro look of the car but something about that kit looks cheap. But its up to you as opinions vary. I'll work on getting some pics up.

But just to verify, the place is trust worthly, quality is good and instructions very good. And Charlie returns your calls and answers your quesitons if you have issues.

Later.

yo, im having a hard time hookig up my new pony package fogs.can some one hook mw up with the dvd that shows ypu hoe to put them step by step?

will keep you posted on how it goes

did u order it from west cost performance parts?

Yes , Its from West Coast Performamance Parts

You think You can hook me up with the dvd they send you. maybeb i can figure out how to hook them up with their instruction

Absolutely , I should have my kit by mid/end this week , I can send you the DVD/MPEG as soon as I have it

cool thanx jsut let me know when u get it. my e-mail is alfredoleal_3@hotmail.com
and send a pic of ur car after you have hooked up the fogs

man, had "the" GT grille, with fog lamps, installed at the dealler on my 06v6,,,,,value at 651.00, had them throw it in with the sales deal.

so u didnt install them your self???????

i still like my street scene grill no cutting craming or overhang

local://upfiles/14019/CC7F4D0C5FE24847B650173CDC76FF89.jpg

are all mustangs pre-wired for fog lights?

no, but you can buy the set up off ebay and a lot of other sites

afixer, where did you get your street scene grill? that looks great

I had the GT bumper installed. But I didnt wire up the fogs yet. Is there a kit for this, or can you only buy it with a bumper or grill setup.

i did the photo shoot for them so they gave it to me its my car on their web site. but they are availible and they are great. i moded the pony to fit as they dont come with one, that was also very easy. you also want to paint the radiator area black before the install because you can see much more. in my opinion this is the best kit unless you like the pony pac. the basicly took a v6 grill and added the factory light mounts to it. unlike the west coast kit, all wait did i say ALL the tabs fit no cutting of the cover and no over hang. and as nice as mister wick is and his kit is easy the SS lights are adjusable just like the factory ones because they are factory. they also have a wire harness and give you a nice small switch to install into the v6 switch or you can do what i did and buy the gt switch and hook thier harnes to it , just one wire needs to go to it everything else goes to the fuse box. i even installed a jumber to the relay that turns on the light on the switch when they are on. and because its hooked up to the factory switch the chime rings if you leave it on when you turn off the car. oh yea and thanks for the complement!

Afixer,

It's good to see you online again. Been busy??!?!?!? There were a lot of AFE questions on mustangforums, tms and stangnet about the gains being true or not. Any new developments with your ride since the last time you posted?

yea slamed Im working on santa clause 3 we started shooting friday. working 12 hour days 6 days a week. as far as the afe gains i notice you have one i dont know about you but im pretty happy with it. i may not be the prettiest on out there but if i wanted pretty crome things id have gone another way i guess. but id rather go fast the sit around saying isnt it pretty.

Politicaly right discaimer! thats just my opinion !

I'm happy with it, and I can feel it at the higher rpms. And that is before a tune. I can't wait to see what gains I get after I have a professional tune done. I am thinking of painting my stock tube blue to match. I saw someone with a red one not to long ago and it looked sweet! Good for car shows.

i alreday set everything up. the switch, the pony package fogs. i just need to hook them up. do any of u guys no how to hook them up?

have not done it yet but the plane is in motion. I like the way AFIXER is doin it that way you have the buzzer go off if you leave the fogs on
