Default Need GT Grill advice

I am looking to make my GT look a little more like the '69 Mustang I had in my youth. I found this grill:

http://agentfortyseven.com/restyling/gt_grill.html

which looks like it does the job, but at almost $300 - its one of the more expensive grill options I've seen. Has anyone seen anything similar? Definiately looking to keep the wide-spaced driving lights, but want to delete the pony emblem from the center, ala the '69.

Any advice much appreciated.

It is pricey but looks nice... I like that it's metal. Far less cheesy than our plastic grills.

I've got my eyes on this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...9586203&rd=1,1

It's shown standing upside down, but it has the closest look to the '69 I've found. I plan on adding the CDC pony emblem just inside the driver side foglight.
I'm not ordering anything until I get my car back from the dealership, though.

OK, so I've added a few things to it. Check my Profile - too many to list here.

Yeah, I am too. But nobody else makes a grille without the pony in the center, but leaves the foglights where they are. This one has more of a horizontal element to it. I have found one overlay grill, but it's not black and I just don't like the idea of overlays. I might take a chance on this one. If it doesn't work it's not the end of the world.

I agree, I'm cautious about what I buy. I do like the one from 47 but at that price it's a bit much.
