The good thing is that I am probably one of a few that have this color car with this grille (since Mineral Grey wasn't offered with the Pony Package)... But I also got the Bullitt wheels from a GT, got the pony caps (like the Pony Package) and the other day got a tuner for my car and let me tell you, I don't know how I have gone this long without it! The annoying lag in first gear is gone! The response from the gas pedal is gone and it even shifts better! It's like a whole new car! Anyway, the whole point of this was to show you my car with the newly added grille! <a href="http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=4061339&a=30766092&p=74486957" target="_blank">http://albums.photo.epson.com/ j/ViewPhoto?u=4061339&a=30766092&p=74486957</a>

Originally Posted By iceknyght Thanks! Well, you *can* get the GT stuff to work, but it can get costly... The GT bumper will fit, but you also have to get the wheel well liners replaced and a couple other small components... It's not a completely direct swap out... The grille I *was* going to get was going to fit into the V6 grille, just as the stock one does, but have the GT fog lamps in it. So there would have been no need for swapping bumpers... But in the end, I got tired of waiting and wanted my fog lamps! And I really do like this grille! I still have quite a list of stuff I want to do, but I am loving the mods I have done so far! Oh, I also did a mod on the inner-door on the switch plate that turned out nice... I painted it silver (to match my handles) and it just adds a little more color to the door... <a href="http://albums.photo.epson.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=4061339&a=30766092&p=74348716&f=0" target="_blank">http://albums.photo.epson.com/ j/ViewPhoto?u=4061339&a=30766092&p=74348716&f=0</a>

And I listen to GOOD music. Hee hee hee hee... ;-)

Originally Posted By wonderingalice Heh heh heh... Exactly!! You know, there's that audio control that's linked to your speed... Automatically turns it down at slow-downs and stops. I don't use it, but it's in there. *L*
Originally Posted By iceknyght Yep. I tried it, but didn't like it... I still found myself manually turning up and down the radio, so I think I had it on for like a day... LOL!
