New Black Billet Grille.

TheUNZippee! · May 9th, 2008, 06:39 PM

My new black billet grille arrived, through a company called Carriage Works. I wish I could remember the name of the member who just put the bright billet in that led me to this company. Thanks Mr. Mystery Grille Guy!

And thanks to PartsBill for initially leading me to wanting this grille.

It went on fairly straightforward. The lower bolts on the two outer pieces of the upper grille were a little bit of a pain to put on, but other than that a drunken western hayseed could put this thing on.

Oh, hi, Ken.

Lmfao

Anyways. Car is still dirty, but here she is. I love this thing.

damn that grill looks sexy. is it an overlay or a replacement grille? i want one just like that in black billet. did it come with the bottom grill as well?

TheUNZippee! · May 9th, 2008, 06:53 PM

IT is an overlay, Ken. Both the upper & lower units can be purchased separately. Total cost + the price to ship to Canada was 280 bucks for both units.

Here is the link to Carriage House. They don't deal directly, but call the man and he will lead you to the distributor.

Mustang GT: Carriage Works Inc.

If you want the exact same combo I have, you want:

Upper grille, Pony shows: part# 42381 (consists of 3 pieces)
Lower bumper grille is: part#42391 (1 piece unit)

I spoke with a man named Walt Cunningham there. The distributors name is Paragon.

tribaltek · May 9th, 2008, 06:59 PM

Hhhhmmm... If I decide to not switch to the Roush front fascia, I am going to have to get that lower grille to match my upper!

Pic whore

KenDogg · May 9th, 2008, 07:02 PM

that doesn't sound like a bad price at all. it looks like it's a perfect fit. is it thick enough to hide the stock grill well enough?

Thanks noob. Yep, I can still drive trucks for a living. I just about shit in my pantaloons when I saw the air brake qualification test however. They changed it, adding & changing some questions, but I managed to skate by that one anyway. lol

Yes, it hides it perfectly. You really have to look to see the factory grille. I was worried about that aspect as well, but it hides it just fine.

TheUNZippee! · May 9th, 2008, 07:39 PM

Yes. And for almost 7 months of that year the car was in storage. I only got it out on the road 3 weeks ago. lol

Luis_GT · May 9th, 2008, 07:45 PM

07 procharger · May 9th, 2008, 07:47 PM
