Anyone have a pic of the new Shelby inserts? I love the old ones, but the new ones seem okay...

Will the lower billet grille work with the driving light/vent insert?

Nevermind I see that it does -

One thing to keep in mind is that this piece needs to go on *first*, then the driving light inserts. I got my billet grille after I got the inserts (it was backordered) and I still need to take my inserts back out to install the grille.

So here's the order:

Cut the holes for the lights/inserts
install center billet grille
install inserts

And if you do the SHR lower honeycomb grille instead, you'll have to cut the tabs so they'll fit around the light bezels.

Thanks for the additional info. Since I ordered the Shelby kit is this plug and play with the existing fog light harness?

Not sure if they've changed anything, but mine wasn't PnP. The PIAAs need to either be spliced into the existing fog light harness or you need to run them separately.

I spliced mine in and it worked like a charm. I think I put a relay in as well, but honestly don't remember. Check the draw of the PIAAs vs the stock fogs - that'll help you decide if you need a relay if you're going to splice them in.

OK I decided not to spend $400+ for the lights since I rarely drive my car at night.
Since I had the Shelby billet upper grille and wanted to install the lower billet grille I didn't like the look of the honeycomb lower inserts. I had friend fab up a couple of pieces of metal and put a bezel in the center. This eliminated the honeycomb inserts altogether and flows with the lower grille. I can if I want run some ducting from the holes and make a brake cooling kit. I don't track my car much so I don't think I'll do that but it is an option.

what bezels are those and where did you buy them?

EDIT: I really shouldn't half-read posts. Your friend did a good job with those bezels

Looks good Rich! And better yet, since it's a one-off, yours will be unique. Nice job!

Actually the bezels are the plastic piece that you use when you drill a hole in your desktop to drop your computer cables through. I bought them at Staples and they are 2 5/8 diameter. Lol
