Default The Grilles

I'm abit stuck at the moment about the bonnet for my EF. Currently I've got a Fairlane NL Grille on and I've made up my own "custom" kinda FTB style grille, heres a pic...

So basically I'm looking at some different options and like the style of the GT Scoop... tell me what you guys think looks toughest!

(Sorry photos are a bit dodgy!!)

Thanks for the opionions guy... now I really cant decide! I was starting to move towards Fairlane with GT scoop but now you've got me thinking again!

The FBT Grille was pretty simple. Got my stock grille, took out the insert and traced it out on cardboard. Bought some silver mesh from Super Cheap, put the cardboard under it and with a black texta traced out where to cut on the mesh. Tin snips to cut the mesh out, few cuts on the hands : , silicon the original Ford badge onto the mesh and chuck it back in the stock grille and done! I'm suprised it worked out so good for a do it yourself job!!
