How to transform the front end of your 2005-2009 Mustang

Want your Mustang to go from this?

2006 Ford Mustang - Before Deer

 

To this?

2006 Ford Mustang GT w/ 2.5" Cervinis Hood & Shelby Billet Grille

 

If so, then I have all the answers for you.

1st: Drive down HWY 287 and hit a deer doing 70 so your 'stang can look like this!

2006 Ford Mustang GT + Deer + 70mph =

2006 Ford Mustang GT + Deer + 70mph =

Now if you have the same passion for cars as I do, then you get tired of looking at every Mustang GT that looks just like yours. I have been wanting to change the look of my car for the longest time. Now that I had a reason to, I went for it! I have always like the look of the GT/CS, but I want something a little different still. I have never really liked the fog lights on my car so this was the perfect time to get rid of them. Oh yea and a hood you ask? I love cowl hoods, but I still want to be able to see.

First of all, I looked at every different option I had. There are so many different ways I could have gone, but I like this one the best. The hood was the easy part for me. I knew I wanted a Cervini's 2.5" cowl hood. Now this is where I had to stop and think, I have seen a ton of GT500 front ends on GT's, and thought i want something different. Like I said before, I have always liked the look of the GT/CS, so my mind was made up. I went with the California Special style front bumper. Grilles? Which grill do I want? Do I want the bullitt grille"Eleanor" grille, Agent 47 or just a clean looking billet grille? After much debate, I finally made up my mind. I like the clean and simple look, but something with a little pop. I picked the Shelby billet grille! I had the black one picked out first, but I wanted something else to set off my wheels so I went with the polished. I'm not trying to do too much, but at the same time I wanted to do "something".

Now that you have everything you need, it's time to head to the body shop and let them work their magic. I love the color black and didn't want to change that so it was a pretty easy job for the painters. Once it was painted and put back together, I couldnt have been happier.

Here are some more pics thanks to Jeff. Enjoy!

Shelby makes a lower grille for the GT/CS bumper. Its a nice piece. Its the center part of the lower bumper. As of right now we dont carry anything the runs the full length of the lower grille area.
