Default Help Me Decide Which Grille for Center Fog Delete?

My original plan was to get a Saleen grille but since they quit making them it is near impossible to find one now. I am looking now at the Black Retro grille:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/black-...ille-2010.html

And the Roush:
http://www.americanmuscle.com/roush-...ille-1012.html

They are damn near identical in look. Looking at pictures the Retro appears to fill the space better and has less 'see through' than the Roush which I tend to like. Also the Roush is a good deal more expensive by about $75.

What do yall think? I am more kinda leaning toward the black retro grille right now.

I'm sure the GT/CS one is pretty expensive. I'm trying to keep it to these two.

All within the same price as the Roush, but they are actual Ford OE parts. But before you order, check with Tousley Ford Parts and see if they can hook you up on them, since they are a vendor on SVTP.

I like my fogs and I'm keepin them, so I'm no help on this matter. lol

I prefer the fogs because I like the throwback look to the 68 fastback. Modern day old school muscle! I prefer the clean lines of the stock body and just can't get into all the body kit stuff.

FYI the roush is metal as well. Saleen grille is plastic which may be what you were reffering to.

I think I would wait and find a Saleen grill for your body style. Those are my fav by far.

I have a Roush upper coming in. I'm going to try to find a way to keep the stock fogs. Even if I have to fab up a new bracket. If there is no way I'm probably going to sell it. I love the LED fogs.

I may end up getting the Roush because I have a gift card for LMR for my B-Day and LMR doesn't sell the Black Retro one.
