How to Install a Modern Billet Black Billet Grille on Your 2005-2009 V6 Mustang

Step 1:  

Remove the 6 plastic retaining clips holding the upper plastic radiator cover to the radiator support and remove it from the vehicle.

Step 2:  

Remove the grille by prying gently on the bumper cover tabs holding the grille and pulling outwards as shown.

Step 3: ***For Pony Delete Grilles Only***  

If installing a Pony Delete grille, you may want  to hide the appearance of the Pony Emblem,  there are two ways to go about this: (1) Using a  flat head screwdriver or trim removal tool, pry  off the retaining nuts and remove the pony  emblem from the grille; (2) Use satin black paint of your choice to coat the Pony Emblem and  make it less noticeable from behind the grille.

Step 4:  

Use the supplied machine screws, U‐Tabs, and  machine nuts to attach the billet grille to your  factory grille. Make sure the long machine  screws are used on the bottom as shown.

Step 5:  

Once the grille is secure and properly aligned,  re‐install the factory grille into the front bumper  cover and replace the radiator shroud to  complete the installation.

Step 1:  

Safely raise the front end of the car to gain  access to the plastic drip pan located behind the  front bumper. Remove the seven 5.5 mm  screws securing the pan and remove it from the  vehicle.

Step 2:  

Use the (2) U-brackets on the outer mounting  locations. Use the (2) J-brackets on the inner  mounting locations.

Step 4:  

Place the billet grille over the factory grille.  From underneath the car, adjust the J-Hooks to  wrap around the factory plastic grille as shown.  Use a Phillips head screw driver to hold the  screws in place while you thread the bracket,  washer, and nut on the back side of the screw.

Step 5:  

Once all of the hooks are secured around the  factory bumper, use a Phillips head screwdriver  and a deep socket to hold the nut and tighten  the screw.

Step 6:  

After making sure grille is properly aligned and  secured, re-install the factory drip pan that was  removed in Step1 to complete the installation.
