They will be simply aftermarket bumper mount fogs I'm sure. You can always just order the grille and fogs from parts department and make an aftermarket switch, re-doing the harness and adding a GT light switch would be silly-expensive.

If you'll add fog lamps, you should just get a good set like PIAA and put em' on the lower front fascia instead of on the grille. This will save mucho dinero and keep your V6 from "faking" the V8 look to other owners. I personally wouldn't care, but I hear some people do

Yeah, wait for the GT-R type front facia from steeda. Put the fogs in there. Thats what I'm going to do, if I can't get my 04 GT. I think that it would not be too ricey.

I'm planning on getting the V6, but I like the look of the fog lights. First I'll see how much aftermarket kits will cost. If the cost is too high (and it probably will be), I'm considering purchasing similar looking round foglights without the wire harness, and simply mounting them superficially.

I know I'll get a lot of flak for that, but hey, it's no worse than having a non-functional hood scoop!

I think I'm in the minority when I say that I hate the fog lights on the new Mustang. IMO the V6 Mustang is perfect with two exceptions...
  • No V8
  • No dual pipes
And a minor thing... I love the V6 rims but it would be better if they where 17's instead of 16's but I can deal... I've had tiny rims on every car I've ever owned. Maybe someday a company will copy the V6 rims and make then bigger

I don't like the fog lights too much either, or the spoiler don't kill me guys!
BUT! I have to have a v8
Do you guys think it'll be difficult to take off the foglights? By that i mean a lot more than a few screws.

You'll also need to replace the grille with a V6 grille since cutouts will be left for where the fogs were.

The first mod that I will do with my new Mustang GT is to swap in the V6 grill and the V6 'gas cap' on the rear. I like the tri-bar pony better than the new GT logo...
