Default Bullitt Mesh Grille, options...

Okay, so I am leaning towards getting a grille like so:
Mustang Bullitt Grille My only issue is the price, so are there any other options?

I want it to be plastic & mesh, so that rules out quite a few eBay items. I am willing to spend at most $200. I want to save the rest to pick up the required items to do an HID conversion on my headlights to accommodate the lack of fog lights.

Also, if I do end up removing my fog lights, what shall I do with the fog light plug? Cover it up some how to avoid damage? Can it be completely removed?

Thanks in advance gents! Once I get this done, I am going to take some updated photos of the GT.

best bet is to tape it up with electrical tape and secure to the car via zip ties out of the way where they cant be seen

I have been hunting for almost a week now, with no luck. Just lots of grillcraft wire mesh stuff.

Oh I agree, but it seems there are no third party copy-cats for it, which is a bit surprising considering the amount of Eleanor rip-offs.

shade ur foglights and paint the horse black, looks the same as the bullit grille but you get to keep your foglights and all.

Not a fan of shading, especially with the fog lights.

Just found an aftermarket Bullitt Grill!

MRT Interceptor Grille

It isn't too much cheaper, but its still better price than the OEM Ford grill!
