It seems to me that most on this forum are totally googlie-eyed in love with the GT fog lamps. My opinion on these units won't be shared by many because I absolutely dislike them, no matter where they're placed. Hey, you asked!

Aesthetics:
They're too big, &
Get confused with brights.

Manufacturing:
Cheaply made of 100 percent genuine plastic!!

Performance:
There is no comparison between these factory units and similar ones made by Hella, Cibie, Marshall, etc.....

If I didn't have a GT500 front bumper on my GT, I'd definitely do something like the pic of your car below but with top quality (smaller / rectangular) fog lamps. In fact, I'm strongly considering doing this with my wife's V6 with a pair of Catz driving lamps I have owned on several different vehicles for years.

Everyone has they're opinion and I have mine. The blank grille looks too akward. At the very least it needs a pony somewhere. As far as that foglight Idea goes I really hope you don't go through with it.

I am having the same trouble deciding on whether or not to go for the center mount grille. The only thing holding me back is with the Steeda hood (and from the looks of that picture above) the center mount grille looks a bit offset to the left, when looking at the car. Let me know what you guys think?

I'd say yes. It competely changes the look of the front, especially with the CDC chin...

I'm trying to figure out the reflection on the second pic..how do the center lights cast that kinda of reflection?

I know i Know its photo chop but I like the agressive look the center lights give the front end,especially with that shaker scoop

I'm partial to the 69 mustang look what is exactly what you got going with the stock lights and shaker setup.

As a fellow owner of a black Mustang with a shaker scoop, I've contemplated the same idea when the SSE grille came out, but decided against it in the end. The reason? I think the combination only looks good when you add racing stripes and I didn't want to do that.
