Well I just installed my new Billet Alum. Grille in my 73 GTS and I looks fantastic! I will post some pics later as my digital camera broke! I just sent some film off to walgreens so I will have a c.d.rom made and will post them.

I had it made by Trenz manufacturing so far it is one off prototype don't know if there are any plans for production yet but I will keep you informed I will post pics tomorrow! It was made of one piece of Billet aluminum and polished and coated. It fits better than the stock grille! Next step is tucking in the front bumper and sectioning it to fit the body better. 2inch dropped springs as well.

Well I finally compressed the picture so I could post it.   There are going to be many more changes coming soon. Like sectioning the bumper and tucking it in about 3" and losing the side trim for starters!! Enjoy!!  Gary

A Billet Grille would look great on your Cougar. I got lucky my friend had the grille custom made for me as a favor that was owed. Nice to have good friends! Gary
