Improve the look of your 1987-1993 Fox Body Mustang while increasing airflow to your radiator with this 1993 Cobra grille insert! The 1993 Cobra had multiple styling cues that separated it from GT and LX Mustangs, and the grille was one of the standout differences. Out of the 15 years of the Fox Mustang, the 1993 Cobra was the only year that the iconic running pony emblem appeared on the grille. Now you can add that emblem to your 1987-1993 Mustang GT or LX with this grille insert kit!

The 5.0 Resto '93 Cobra Grille Insert Kit is a great way to add a custom, yet OE touch to your '87 to '93 Mustang.

The kit includes a chrome running pony with attaching nut, grille insert, attaching tape, and instructions with a cut out template.

The insert kit is also available kitted with a new GT bumper cover. You'll want to have your insert professionally painted to match your car.

Once painted, you can install your pony using the included attaching nut. To begin installation, carefully cut out the provided template along the outlines.

Tape the template to the bumper cover and mark the cut out area. Transfer the template to the other side and mark that cut out area.

Now for the fun part. To make the cut, we used an air-powered body saw to cut out the opening in the bumper cover.

Apply the supplied attaching tape to the perimeter of the grille insert, center the insert in the cut out, and stick it down.

Short of the needed paint work, this is a relatively easy appearance upgrade that features an OE fit and finish.
