Hey guys so ive been looking for a eleanor grill for my 05 stang. I have looked all over for the v6 and damn they are expensive. I have found it for around $300 at a bunch of different places 1987-2013 Mustang Performance Parts - Free Shipping but not really looking to spend that much on a grill. Ive contacted american muscle and they only have it for the GT Mustang Eleanor Style Center Fog Light Grille (05-09 GT) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping! and its only $140 bucks WTF! so i was wondering if any one has found it any cheaper than $300 and could point me in that direction. Thanks alot

You can, but just speaking for me I would rather have a factory piece then cut my dashboard to put in a toggle switch. I wrote up the instructions for this on the American Muscle site and it took me 15 minutes at the most and it looks factory without cutting my dashboard.

Also I would go with the kit from Stage 3 because the one from American Muscle is assuming you have a GT which comes with the wiring harness from the stock GT foglights and that kit only has extenders to bring the factory wiring into the center position of the grill where as the Stage 3 kit looks like it has enough wire there to run from the center of the grill along down to your radiator support and up the frame of your car and into the passenger compartment. Also the V6 and the GT grill are slightly different and IIIRC the GT grill would be to big to fit into the V6 bumper.

Unfortunately you should go with the Factory system, in the long end its worth it, plus helps a little on the resell value. Also Ford20 is correct, the grills are slightly different and can't be interchanged, you would need to also replace the front bumper. put an eye ut on eBay would be my best advice if your looking to go cheap.
