perhaps you should chill out? people give me thoughts on my car all of the time, negative and positive and i've never bitched about the negative. it's good to know people's thoughts on your car - both sides.
that would work if he asked for opinions on his wheels...

I could care less if you like the rims or not but that's not what the thread was about, that was my point. If it was a thread where I was asking how people like the new rims then by all means give me your opinions...but this is regarding the grille.

Frosty I like the wheels. I saw your car running down at Atco a few weeks back when QwikZ was racing and I thought they looked really well on your car. Dont listen to what that tool shed says.

people use parts from other cars, its been done for years. how many fbodys have ford 9" rears or dana 60 rears? i have bmw wheels on my car. is that worse? welcome to the automotive scene buddy...

back on topic... if your windows are tinted ( or if there is any other decent amount of black on the car) i still say black. if not, go with the wheel color.

edit: you suck at fbody modding

The funny thing is they're not even actual Mustang rims. They're aftermarket. Bah, whatever. Everyone has their own opinion.

I think as of right now I'm going with the anthracite color.

Definately go with the same color as the wheels... and they look awesome on the car

And yes... Corvette fuel rail covers or bullit wheels... the bullit wheels make the car look good... the plastic covers just sorta scream "poser" to me

Getting it done the same color as the rims would look badass, IMHO

Wheels look excellent to me. The "mustang" wheel is a larger version of the old TTD wheel. I don't get why everyone calls them "mustang" or "bullitt" wheels. They are not specific to either the mustang or the mustang bullitt.

On topic, I would match it to the wheels, then slap a z3 emblem on it. LoL

I'd match it to the wheels for sure, that'd look really good.

The wheels look fking awesome. People don't take into consideration that the "mustang bullits" are almost identical to the Cragar SS 610's
