  Cowl Vent Grill

  The lack of instructions and brackets, which broke when taking old cowl out, was disappointing.

  Looks good. Good fit.

  Don't remove the old part unless you have the aft metal retaining clips that hold the panel in. The plastic tabs they attach to fall off and are gone forever.

  no instructions?

  this is probably the most frustrating thing i had to install. It came without instructions!!! This is something you learn as you go. It took two people and about a hour or so to install. Everything was ok just remove screws, unplug windshield washer nozzle,and have fun trying to squeeze in the the expensive piece of plastic. I felt extremely satisfied after the installation because my mustang looked a whole lot better than before with the broken, cracked, and worn out cowl.

  Rubber falls off easily

  This was a great game changer for the appearance of my Stang. I was NOT impressed with how easily the rubber weather stripping pieces were peeling off straight out of the box so I ended using some of my own 'goop' to get those to stick down to the cowl better. Don't forget to keep your metal clips and reshape them the best you can for a tight fit after install as there are none provided with this kit. Also, now is a great time to repaint your wiper arms since you will have them off the car anyways.....go ahead and get that antenna out of the way and throw it in the paint pile as well.

  Quick and Easy - better than OEM

  Perfect fit. Dramatic change over my cracked factory piece. Note: does not come with new plastic screws or replacement metal clips and could not find any through AM. Replacement plastic screws can be had at local auto supply but the metal clips appear to be Dealer only. Screws and clips could be re-used if they are still intact.

  Excellent product, great fit

  This product fit right out of the box. No trimming needed. only draw back is that it does not come with the clips to secure the cowl vent at the windshield. All other gaskets are attatched.

  fresh look

  Highly recommended after a hailstorm cracked and broke my old one. Used a little glue to help seal it on one side. Hardware (not included, save the old) can be a bit finicky, but with an extra set of hands and a little bit of patience, you will be rewarded with a new, shiny black look.

  weak plastic

  Shipping was very fast and Grille looked great, but it broke immediately when I installed it, literally when I pressed it down.

  Perfect

  The new cowl vent grille looks better than the old one and it was an easy installation. The old one was broken when I bought the car but now it's better thanks to American Muscle.

  Quick and easy

  Very quick and easy install. Did hate that it didn't come with hardware but managed to save a few off the old piece. Works and looks wonderful. It is a little pricey but is the cheapest I've found anywhere. Would definitely buy again.

  Don't waste your money

  I'm not happy with the fitment of the cowl at all. It seemes to now have nice outward bow in it. Also the rubber molding on it seems like it was glued with low quality glue the molding just came right off. Step it up am

  Easy install Great product

  Once again AM didnt fail to impress me the Cowl vent cover was pretty easy to install all it took was a flat head screw driver. To help get the old one up and the retaining clips off Just a warning tho. This didnt come with. Replacement clips so if ur cowl vent is as old as mine be extra careful. The clips can break off and the cowl vent won't hold down if this happens. Al little disappoint the glue holding the rubber started to let go while installing it but. You can buy new. Glue at. Any store other than that this product is great and was easy to jnstall

  Looks great! Just as good as factory.

  I was really surprised at how good this cowl vent fit. I installed it by myself in about an hour and a half, could be done in less time with two people. I used the stock metal locking clips and they worked great. I recommend this vent to everyone.
