Front what I discovered, these two grilles have different setting. And most ppl think the GT bumper is needed for GT grille.

Well I'm trying to keep my V6 bumper on and install a GT grille. So I can have 4 fog lights total.

Found a cheap GT OEM grille selling on ebay, not sure if i should get it.

Anyone ever seen pics of these two grilles and have those differences marked?

If it's anything like the 05-09's, the GT grill will fit a V6...BUT...There will be gaps, and it won't fit correctly. If you really don't want to swap bumpers, surely someone makes a grill with fog lights already, no?

Have been searching all over. Couldn't find anything like it.

I have also thought putting 2 fog lights behind the grille. Just not sure how it will turn out.

No, most people KNOW the GT bumper cover is required to mount the GT grille.

If you want four fog lights, get a GTCS bumper cover (it already has the foglights in it) and a GT grille.

Then I have to change almost everything in the front. Trying to save some budget for the louvers.
Btw, will 4 fog lights be illegal?

Yes. The only thing you can't do is run with both your brights and fogs on at the same time.

You aren't suppose to have more than 4 running lights at once while on a road.

I have a buddy that did the amber removal, the side marker white LEDs, and fogs all running with his headlights, and got a huge ticket. I don't remember amount, but they told him either change everything, or get individual switches for everything.
This is in Texas.

These are also for off road use only. I got stopped one night for having my lights and fogs on. I had never had any trouble up until then, but granted... I did flash the cop my brights when he flashed me. Haha whoops. That's in oklahoma.

I got pulled over last night. And talked to the cop about it. Looks like there is no way I can get it legal.

Speeding. Was like 14 over the limit. And he let me go. Funny thing is, after he handed back my license, we stood on the side of highway and talked about my car for 10+ mins.
