Grille Kit

Price range: $298.00 through $399.00

Upgrade your Shelby Cobra with a custom grille kit designed to add radiator protection, aggressive styling, and a finished front-end appearance. Available for multiple Cobra replica models including Backdraft RT3/RT4, Factory Five MK models, and Superformance.

This low-impact grille kit installs cleanly with no body modifications, no drilling, no cutting, and no painting required, making it an ideal upgrade for finished cars, new builds, and restorations.

If you don’t see one for your specific replica model, use our self-sizing kit! The video instruction below explains the process. Just email us, and we’ll let you know where to mail the stencil.

Purpose-built for Cobra roadsters

Protection Without Ruining the Face of the Car

The Cobra’s open front end is part of what makes the car look like a Cobra. It also leaves the radiator sitting directly behind a very large invitation to rocks, bugs and road debris. This grille is designed to add protection and a more finished appearance while keeping the front end unmistakably Cobra.

No body drilling
Designed around model-specific mounting points.
No cutting
No permanent exterior modification required.
Multiple finishes
Black powder coat or raw aluminum.
Multiple profiles
Flat and convex configurations.

Why add a grille?

A Very Expensive Radiator Lives Back There

The nose opening looks terrific. Rocks also think it looks terrific. The grille adds a physical barrier against everyday road debris while preserving airflow and the classic open-mouth proportions of the Cobra.

01

Radiator Protection

Helps shield the radiator from rocks, bugs and debris encountered during normal street driving and spirited weekend use.

02

A Finished Front End

Adds a cleaner, more intentional appearance to the grille opening without taking away the shape and attitude that make a Cobra recognizable.

03

Low-Impact Installation

The kit is designed to install without drilling into the body, cutting, painting or making permanent exterior changes.

The part Cobra owners care about

No Drilling. No Cutting. No Painting.

You should not have to attack finished bodywork just to protect the radiator. The grille kit is designed around a clean, model-specific installation that keeps permanent exterior changes off the project list.

No body drilling
No cutting
No painting
No permanent exterior changes

Another way to finish the opening

3/8-Inch Round Perforations. Flat or Convex.

The new round-hole pattern is available for every supported Cobra build, in raw aluminum or black powder coat. Choose Round (3/8-inch) above, then select the shape and mounting-block option for your car. Pricing matches the corresponding existing round-grille configuration.

Different replica? Uncertain opening?

Use the Self-Sizing Kit

If your replica is not one of the dedicated model choices, contact us about the self-sizing process. Follow the sizing process shown here, then send the stencil back so the fit can be evaluated instead of guessed.

This is the better path for an unusual application, a car with uncertain history, or anything that makes you hesitate before ordering a model-specific grille.

Mounting options

Choose the Mounting Blocks That Fit Your Build

Choose standard glass-reinforced plastic mounting blocks or the machined aluminum upgrade. The updated blocks also fit previously sold Cobra-Grille grilles. Standalone replacement blocks are sold individually; select the mounting option with a new grille kit rather than ordering the blocks twice.

Glass-Reinforced Plastic

The standard mounting-block option included with applicable grille configurations.
