cobra460jet 10 Report post Posted November 15, 2011 Ive heard that the new original Ford tooling grills have a more glossy color than the original oem grills which had a more charcoal color. Can anyone validate this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dzahm 10 Report post Posted November 15, 2011 I don't know- BUT I have an original grill with slight damage, as well as an NOS grill that I personally took out of the Ford box and installed on my car about 3 mos ago. So if anyone is in Western NC (I am about 1 hr south of GSO) and has a repop we can get together, compare, take pics and we can put this issue down for the mustang community. FWIW my grills do seem flat to semi flat black with a hint of charcoaliness. The original is flatter black (but I think thats from the first 14 yrs in the sun) then the car was inside for 27 yrs.
