Bumper/Grille fitment

I have an '08 v6. Just bought the GT/CS front bumper and billett upper and lower grilles. Now I'm reading that they may not fit properly. Anyone have any experience with this? Will I be able to mount these on my v6?

You said bumper and grilles, so you shouldn't have a problem, unless there's some problem with putting a GT bumper on a V6 I'm not aware of. GT grilles are a slightly different size from the V6 and there's a problem fitting the grilles on the other bumper. It can be done but it's not plug and play.

In what way did you wire those fogs in? The stock light switch pulls out to turn on fogs if the car comes with them, but other wise it lacks that ability in general. Did you replace the stock light switch, or add your own switch in a different location?

I replaced the stock headlight switch with one from a GT. I spliced into the wiring harness as shown in this you tube video and also used the info in this picture from the net. If you need anymore information just ask.
