Default To delete the fogs or not?

I'm actually going to be making a grill for my mustang and am leaning towards a black billet one but im trying to decide if i should delete the fog lights or not? Is it much of a hassle? Any opinions on whether it would look too plain or not?

"I want people to know it's a gt...I didn't pay extra money for hp alone"

I don't think the fogs are giving you any kind of status. What about the Bullitt? And, I can just as easily add fogs to my V6 anyway.

I think it just comes down to: What do you think looks better?

Personally, I'm going to be fabricating a ponyless grille for mine (I have to use the word "fabricating" 'cause "making" just doesn't sound cool enough).

i had the bullitt on for awhile and it looked great but I like the fogs as well... the agent 47 grill looks particularly bad *** imo.

(-:

if you are gonna make one, why not put the fogs farthest apart minus the pony emblem? I have never seen one like that on a billet grill..

I LOVE the fog delete look ... chose to go w/ the BULLITT grille, and haven't looked back:

Before (with fogs tinted):



AFTER (Bullitt grille installed):

Perhaps my age is showing since I think functionality over looks. And just my 2 cents; I'm not drawn to the Bullitt partially because it doesn't have the fogs.

If you don't use the fogs during dark, inclement weather then delete them. I personally consider the fog lights on all of my vehicles as indispensible and have upgraded them to be more useful than they are with the stock bulbs.

Definately your call.

I am considering a fogless grill as well and thankfully someone finally came out with a mesh, fogless grill that is similar to the Agent 47. I kind of like people not knowing what I have and with an otherwise quiet Edelbrock SC going under the hood, that will will only help people guessing

IMO, all the plastic honeycomb on the grills, scoop, etc just looks cheap... which is another reason why I am going with a different upper and lower grill along with a new hood.
