I would take out the bottom piece, center the ford emblem a little bit more and slap a mesh behind it but it's definitely original!

That's a VERY interesting idea. Outta a fusion or freestyle or something right? Definitely like to see it in action.

Looks a little out there to me. The one thing that pops up in my mind is why would you have Mercury Cougar that says FORD in big letters on the front? Makes me think about those cougars I see with a bird header panel. Kinda close but all together not right! But as normal each to there own. SO Stick it on there and let her rip! That is unless you are waiting for our approval. Even if you are do what you like not what we tell you!

a bird or a cat belongs there, like it should be.

Otherwise, your ass and your front dont match just like the rice wedge cougars.

i couldnt resist,, i was only kidding though.  it was one of those "open mouth, insert foot" kinda things.

On the grille, i just cant see getting rid of the bird  A blue oval gives it more of a "generic" escort look.
