Swaps the upper grille section of your S650 for the Dark Horse look without touching the bumper. Painted glossy black ABS, direct bolt-on, and it fits EcoBoost as well as GT and Dark Horse cars.






This is the upper grille insert for the 2024-2026 S650 Mustang. It covers the upper bumper opening and gives the front end the sharper, blacked-out Dark Horse face without the cost or labour of a full bumper swap.
The part is moulded ABS plastic finished in painted glossy black. It follows the factory grille geometry, so the OEM mounting points carry it and the panel gaps stay where Ford put them. Nothing gets cut and nothing gets drilled.
This is the one piece in the range that fits the widest spread of cars. EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, GT, GT Premium, Dark Horse and Dark Horse Premium all take the same upper insert. If you want the lower opening done as well, that is a separate part and it carries a narrower fitment.
Glossy black sits naturally next to factory black trim, and it is the finish that matches the Dark Horse styling most closely. Pair it with the lower insert if you want the whole face to read as one piece.
• Dark Horse styling for the upper bumper opening
• Direct bolt-on to factory grille mounting points
• No cutting, no drilling, no bumper removal on most cars
• Fits EcoBoost, GT and Dark Horse trims
• Moulded ABS plastic – light, rigid and impact tolerant
• Painted glossy black finish, not a wrap or a film
• UV-stable topcoat for daily sun exposure
• Holds its shape through heat cycles and highway airflow
• Sits flush against the factory bumper line
• Retains original grille geometry and panel gaps
• Pairs with the matching lower insert for a full-face conversion
Straightforward job at home with hand tools. The insert locates on the factory grille mounting points, so the fasteners you remove are the ones that go back in.
Work with the car cool and take your time seating the clips – ABS is rigid and does not want to be forced. Dry-fit the panel first, confirm the gaps are even across the opening, then tighten anything down.
Allow about an hour if you have not done a grille before. Professional installation is recommended if you would rather not remove factory fasteners yourself.
