grille mod Reply #15 – March 16, 2010, 11:12:22 PM Quote from: hypostang;314538Thanks , I actually really like it. I was planning on switching to a TC header because I really dislike the stock 87/88 grille, But then I spent my Header panel money on Turbine wheels . Then I saw the pic of RDOGs son's car and decided to try my own style (which turns out was Vinnie's style ) But I think it's a vast improvement over the stock grille I think I'll keep it :DThat's funny because I actually do like the stock LX grille and the pattern that intentionally mimicks the heavy bars of the 1960 grille. Of course I like the Turbo Coupe header... Always have. However I like to be a little different and not necessarily do the typical and ordinary.What would rock though is a set of rectangular sealed beam four eyes in a 87-88 header panel. Hmmmm.... I even thought up another idea... Leave out the aero headlamps and put in single sealed beams a-la early Mustang SVO style... I am really going to invest and try a few different things to get the right look I want. I'll know what's right when I see it done..... minutes later now... excuse me while I borrow your picture... I like the early SVO look on it... Maybe I have found my look! Quote Selected

grille mod Reply #22 – March 16, 2010, 11:55:05 PM In a matter of a few minutes I came up with this idea to try and it seems it should have been more obvious. Once I can see an idea I can embrace it. Now I have to sit on this and think about it.. Let it simmer and see how I feel later... This would be much easier to do than four headlamps. As much as I like four eyes, I also like the smoother nose of the 87-88. Would be a good compromise. I can even still use headlamp that maintain the amber halo effect I like. Quote Selected

grille mod Reply #25 – March 16, 2010, 11:58:57 PM Quote from: hypostang;314551That look is great I like it A LOT I think it works because styling trends have moved away from flush looking aero headlamps. When I think about this I think about how it applies to my Mustang which looks like it has recessed round sealed beams like the classic cars. Of course they have a blacked out surround with a clear lens over them. Quote Selected
