It honestly reminds me of rap stars who put "bling" diamonds on their teeth.

I vote "No".Go with the factory style fog lights.They would look a lot better.I think our cars have a LOOOOOOOOOONG way to go before they have a Bentley look.Get the Marchals.

How about putting the lights on the inside of the grill instead.


agreed, that just looks redneck that way....  hide 'em behind the grill, or put them in the factory intended places....

Shelby's don't have the lights so close together, they're more closer to the actual headlights then the centre of the car.. maybe that's why it's not looking right. Also anoother thing that might be throwing it off is you have a middle divider in the grille making essentially 2 sections, and you don't even have the lights centred in those 2 sections..

I think the grill is OK but the lights behind it or in the factory spot would look better. Also about the weight difference between the grills. I read some where that they made some of the early cougar grills out of bronze. Not sure but maybe you have one of those.

While I dont like the grill, I do have to say that was a creative and different idea.
It's Gumby's fault.

Yes it is creative. but no, to the lights. It looks out of whack.
mabe they're to big for the grill. They look like they belong on a roadster or something like that.

to much exterior illumination in a small space.
mabe if they didn't hide the grill
