fogs in lower grille

just modded my lower grille to install fog lamps, I ordered a couple of speaker box ports off the internet and installed them into the lower grille, they match the lower grille perfectly, next I have to fabricate some brackets so that I can mount the fog lamps, just above the opening for the fog lamp there is a threaded stud off the bumper reinforcement, that I'll be mounting the fog lamps to, it should be alot steadier mounting to the reinforcement then to the cover, then I can tap into the oem fog lamp harness and control the lamps with the oem switch.

Looking forward to install and final look pics.

Also, could you pick out the exact port you had on that page? There's a couple, I think... I wanna see the 'right' one.
