Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / August 2005What's with missing grills?
I just bought a 97 GT (please read my "shudder" post too) and the front grill was missing. No biggie, but every time I see a similar Mustang I walk up to it to see what the grill looks like and EVERY TIME their grill has been missing too! What's going on? Is there some roving gang that swipes Mustang grills? Is there some problem with the grills that make them fall out at highway speeds or with heavy (heheheh) acceleration? This is a mystery to me..... thanx > I just bought a 97 GT (please read my "shudder" post too) and the front > grill was missing.

Maybe someone ripped your out?  SignatureTropic Green Y2K 5 Speed Mustang GT With Bits and Pieces http://tinyurl.com/3w3sv You cannot possibly be this uninformed, can you? Pay attention.- They did not come with a grille! They come with a big hole and a running Pony in the middle of it. If you see one WITH a grille, it's an add on.

Oh lord, a virgin. Ok, I'll be nice then. Oh, and int's Hon .. not Hun. Attilla was a Hun, *ducking* (that oughta bite me on the rump) Kate > Oh, and int's Hon .. not Hun. Attilla was a Hun, > *ducking* > (that oughta bite me on the rump) I stand corrected =) Yup, in the Mustang world I am a big stinkin virgin, but in the automotive world I am not. Just did a head gasket on my other car (87 escort wagon, ok.... no jokes) and can handle most repairs myself. That's why that weird rumble strip shudder has me stumped. I did some pokin around here in this forum and the torque converter lockup deal sounds like the prob. I'll try changing the tranny fluid and see what happens..... Glad to be on board! :> Oh, and int's Hon .. not Hun. Attilla was a Hun, : > *ducking* [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] : happens..... : Glad to be on board! I hope that you get 'er fixed, so you can go out and play without worries. When you do get it, post it so we know! Whereabouts in the world are you? > Whereabouts in the world are you?

How harsh are the winters? Someday I want to go wander around on the east coast. I'm looking forward to it.

One of these days, I am looking forward to experiencing your wonderful sense of humor in person. BBQ season isn't over yet! Kate With almost certainty, unless you also drain the fluid from the torque converter the problem will persist. Again read the TSB.

Some 96's did come with a honeycomb grill which sat right behind the horse emblem. No idea as to why this was never carried over into the 97/98's though. The part # is F6ZB-8150-AB A billet grill looks great in the 94-98 Mustangs and is easy to install for those that don't like the empty look.

Cause it was ugly and hard to clean? I have the billet, put a Cobra on it instead of the Pony - love it. Hated the big black hole. Actually, I think it was the first mod I did to my car. One of the first anyway. : The part # is F6ZB-8150-AB : A billet grill looks great in the 94-98 Mustangs and is easy to install : for those that don't like the empty look. : : Tim (Musttanguy) : PonyPerformance.com > Cause it was ugly and hard to clean? > I have the billet, put a Cobra on it instead of the Pony - love it.

I actually thought that the cobra front grille emblem was standard until I bought my 97. First thing I did was go down to the local Mustang shop (themustangshop.ca) and order one. : > Cause it was ugly and hard to clean? : > I have the billet, put a Cobra on it instead of the Pony - love it.

I thought it was pretty weird that the Cobra came with a horse in the grille, but what the heck. |
