Evolution of My GT Grille (Still in Progress?)

[markboris]

If I wanted fag lights in my grille or the Rally grille, is that a whole bumper cover , or is if just the insert?

It is just the insert however your bumper will not have holes in it for the back side of the fog lights to mount so you will have to modify the bumper cover to accept those lights plus buy any associated mounting hardware.

I'm not a fan of the emblem in the front or the back but to each it's own for making their ride unique

I understand but that was my goal. To make it look like every other Ford SUV which has a Ford oval on the grille and liftgate.

You have done that and I love and respect the way your car looks. I have modified all my cars for over 35 years because I don't like it stock from my first 88 240sx to my current 20 Ranger and my wife's Mach e. Lastly, when I need guidance here, I always search for your advice first and that's the reason I'm going with the aosk mud flaps and not RB or RA ?

Wow - that looks really good!

Continuing the evolution of my grille... after almost a year, got tired of the painted gloss black grille and went with a new vinyl wrap from StrucknDesign which happens to have a very close match to Glacier Gray. Changed out the 7" custom painted Ford oval emblem for a 6" one that blends in better with the new design on the grille.

I updated my first post with a couple more photos.

Looks great Mark, the best yet, IMO... (still not a fan of the blue caliper covers...)

They perfectly complement the color of his MME.

How much did Mark pay you?

Thing is Dave, with my Glacier Gray body color, and especially in person, the calipers look much better in Grabber Blue. The car has metallic flakes that are cyan, magenta and gold. Red does not go at all with this body color, at least to me. My Iconic Silver '21 GT with red calipers looked great.

Couple of photos from last year with my previous wheels, but you get the idea.

No explanation needed Mark; your car, your choice.

To my color-challenged eyes, the red really pops. 🥸 (My MME is also Glacier Gray)

Completely forgot your car was the same color. Yes, the red definitely pops more but I didn't want that on this car. Wanted something that was a little more mellow. Grabber Blue is that color for me. I do agree with you though that most people really like the red. You aren't the first person to dislike the blue calipers.

I like it!

More unique for sure and everyone else has red.

Hey Mark, sorry to bother you but I have a GT and my grill has a crack so I ordered a new grill. I think the front bumper needs to come off to replace the grill. I think I saw your post about how to replace it with pdf file but that file was not working. Do you happen to have a manual for how to replace grill/remove front bumper? Much appreciated!
