I've always loved the dual head lamps in the grill on ths sides of the running poney. Unfortunatly when I bought my Mustang it didnt have them like the 2006 and above v6's do. A buddy of mine has a 2006 gt and is about to install the Elanore style front grill on his. My question is. Is it possible to pull the stock 2006 GT grill from his car and install it on to my 2005 v6?

In a word; no.

The v6 bumper is smaller than the GT bumper so for all intensive purposes the GT grille will not fit the v6. There ARE kits out there that include a GT style grille (with the fog lamps) and are designed to fit a v6. I also say 'for all intensive purposes' because if I recall correctly, earlier when these Mustangs were relatively new there were vendors on eBay selling v6 to GT grille conversions that used a GT grille with 2 of the clips cut off. Apparently they were able to fit the grille by cutting two of the clips off, but i'm not certain about this. Even if you can get a GT grille to fit your v6 bumper, the fit may not be up to par with stock.

You could, however, buy a GT front bumper and install it; then you could use all the GT grilles your heart can possibly desire.

I actually attempted to place a GT grille in my V6, but I wouldn't recommend it. As mentioned before you must cut the two clips off the GT grille (good luck with resale). Not only this, but the GT grille is larger around the bottom so a lot of stress is placed on the headlights when installed.
Here are the steps I had to go through:
1. Install wiring harness and switch (a kit intended for the mustang will have this; it will look better and you will not have to guess).
2. Remove old grille (easy step).
3. Install new grille. I had to melt and sand off excess plastic on the bottom of the new grille, but if you are not careful you can sand off too much. Once it is sanded it takes an unbelievable amount of time, muscle, and patience to get the grille in place (two man project) and even when complete, it will not be flush at the bottom (two inch overhang). I drove around worrying about it popping out all of the time, so I just replaced it with a grille and foglights intended for the V6 and it looks so much nicer.
4. Connect the fog lights
If it is all you have and is a temporary thing and you don't mind a little overhang (you can't notice it unless you are looking for it) then go for it. But again, I strongly recommend a gt to v6 conversion kit.

More trouble than it's worth. Get one to fit the V6.
