Canadian 2013 GT's not getting grille mounted LED fogs

So, all the 2013s I have seen so far in canada, do not have the lights in the grill, but rather have the california special fog lights..
The one at the autoshow in toronto however had the lights in the grill

Not sure if anyone has any insight, sort of disappointed in the v6 appearance my mustang will have..

Why would they have a cs up front without the cs package ?

It isnt a CS Grille, It is a honeycomb grille. I asked the dealer about it and he didnt know why it didnt have them as all the ads have them. Someone else said they were an option but I couldnt find that on the build site....
Ill try to get pics.

They come in the Tech package in the US but that isnt an option in CAN. According to the guide, all CAN V6s do come with fog lamps, but in the front bumper, I believe, not in the grille. Pretty sure the only '13 Mustangs with fogs in the grille are GTs (base & prems, but not CSs or Bosses). Everything else has none or has them in the bumper.

I just saw two 2013 5.0 convertibles at a dealer in town. Both had the Brembo package, neither had fogs in the grille, both had the chrome trimmed grille with the pony logo.

I appreciate looking at a pic, the CDN build site clearly showes the GT with the fog lamps in the grille. My order sheet did not show any options for the fogs...interesting to see what I get late next week.

This is a pictures of a 2013 GT in stock at Erinwood Ford. It has no fogs in the upper grill but has small ones in the lower fascia, as per the CS model. This is not a CS. I have seen the car in person.

My guess would be their is a law somewhere in Canada that sets the fog light height at a certain number. I think it looks better, more of a sleeper.

Thanks - still have the v6 ish look to it, and that chrome wrap around , I'm. It feeling it .... Guess that's what I'm to expect next week in my vert....I guess I'm surprised as I had visioned in my head, the lamps in the grille....but to see the fogs like the 6 is a little disappointing to tell you the truth.
Anyone have a white 5.0 to show ?

The good news is that you will be getting the new $2000 delivery allowance plus $1000 Costco discount if your a member.... Just noticed this on the Canadian site.

I got a smoking deal when I ordered in jan... This won't apply to me.

When I priced out my car on the site...it worked out to 53k with taxes....lets just say, even with this 3k off you mention, I paid less than that with the rust proofing and safety wheel nuts too for my 19s

In Saskatchewan where I used to live, the law says the fog light must not exceed the height of headlamps.

I'd imagine it's the same elsewhere in Western Canada.

Reference Regina Police Vehicle Modifications: http://www.reginapolice.ca/vehicle/v...ifications.pdf

And here is a link that has vehicle regulations that applies to all of Canada: http://www.gov.ns.ca/just/regulations/regs/mvstdsve.htm

Wow...That does not look good. That front is just wrong. Nothing special at all. I guess you have to get the GT500 to have a cool looking front end. Very sad we get this look. They all look like v6 front ends...
