Xenon crusher front end cover or replacement?

[gray]

Does The Xenon front fascia piece cover up the factory or do you take the factory off and install the crusher front end please say that it replaces iT? ....

[drdave]

The crusher front end replaces the factory front bumper. Fits real nice with very little fitting...just put one on mine!

I liked the bruiser better than the crusher until I saw them both installed. crusher is part of the car, bruiser I saw was obviously a bolt on.

Would a grille made for a GT fit in the crusher front end?

[Jeff V]

No, but you can grind it, then re-chrome it.

Would you rather have a Bruiser Cruiser or a Crusher Cruiser?

I for one always like the Crusher because I feel its more unique.

In response to would a grille made for the GT fit in the crusher front end, yes. I have a 04 GT and stuck the factory grill in no problem. I wanted a continuation of my stock grille, not just an empty hole in the bottom, and it was no problem.

Dragula, King may be right about the OEM grille fitting. I was thinking you meant one of the aftermarket grilles like E&G or Stull.

King, how did you cut the OEM grille section out of the lower fascia?

[King_Rob]

I didnt have to cut the grill out.......I noticed on some Cruisers, the grill is actually part of the bumper.... On my 04 GT, the Lower Front Grill was an insert. All I had to do was pull it off, as it was held on by plastic clips. I used the same clips to attch at it to the crusher front end.

I wonder if that lower "insert" is a Canadian GT thing?

All the '04 GT's that I've seen have a one-piece bumper fascia with the lower grill built-in.

Any bodymen out there with the straight story on this?


Edit added: I just saw a post that states that the Convertibles have the lower, 2-piece grill. The post didn't mention Turbo convertible or not.
