Grille with Fog Lights

Have any of you changed the grille on the GT? I'd like to keep the fog lights where there at. I haven't had much luck finding nice grilles with the option to keep the fog lights where they're at.

there are roush or saleen type grilles where you can hide the fogs behind them (at least I think I've seen them for the 13+)

I feel the same way, I'm going with the boss grille just to get the big running pony off the grille and putting the tri bar pony instead that will clean up the front end for my tastes... But it's not a radical change. I wish there were more options keeping the grille fogs while changing the front end look more

cinizter, your car always looks so good!
Hey, how'd you do your calipers? Paint? Powder? Magic? And what'd you do for the "brembo" logo?

They also have full replacement billet grille. The fog lights can be kept in place behind it.

I have it on my car. I got the upper and lower on sale for a little less than their current price.

VIP1 can you provide some info on how you were able to mount the fogs behind the grill properly? I was looking at buying the billet replacement myself from americanmuscle.com. I want to add fog lights but I want to do it right (I'm swapping my v6 bumper out for a GT).

I have a GT that came stock with the LED fog lights. I didn't touch them. They stayed mounted right where they were. I only changed the plastic grille insert out with a billet one. The holes on the grille are slotted so you can mount it a bit more forward so as not to contact the fog lights.

Here are the installation instruction:

Some videos with instructions and tips:



Videos are not mine, I just did a quick search on YouTube and found them.

Although this next link isn't my car, that is pretty much how mine looks (minus the lower lip):

I see what you're saying. my front end is for a 2011-2012 so I don't think this will work for me. The 2013 looks like its got a tad more room in the nose that makes your setup really easy. Thanks for the all help and info though!

It might still be possible. Maybe someone with a 2011/2012 can chime in. Or might have to call AM to find out.

Currently discussing a mod of the GT grille that would keep the lights in the same position- basically, removing the honeycomb between the lights. I have a OEM grille arriving Monday and will be shooting for the look in the pic below.

Here's the thread, and pic:
