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.
