Post Looking for fog-lights centered grill, any brands??

I'm looking for a black grill that has the fog lights centered...

Any brand you guys would recommend?

I was looking at these... I wonder if the stock lights would fit with these grills.

Any suggestions and/or opinions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.

My choice was the 3D Carbon grill. The fog lights are closer together and the honeycomb in almost all open and not partially closed like the second grill in your post. If I remember right without going to look, you can get about 1 1/2 finger width between the fog lights on the 3D Carbon and the housings are set further back. All parts needed to install were included, ie; harness extensions and new light bulbs. Very easy install, took me longer to put tape on the bumper cover so I wouldn't scratch than to do the install. And contrary to what the instructions said, you do not have to remove the bumper cover to install it. Good Luck

3D Carbon Eleanor grills require sheetmetal bending for the fogs to fit.
StreetScene does not.

That is not true for a Gt.
I have a 3dcarbon eleanor grill and it was a straight swap with no bending of metal or modification whatsoever.

No sheet metal bending required on my install either. They include another set of bulbs to replace the stock ones because the plugs point to either side, pass or driver. The replacement bulbs have the socket pointing straight down so there is no bending required.

I have the 3d carbon one. No bending came with new bulbs. Good quality.

Default center fog grill

I have a street scene on my wife's V6. It looked to be made well, was super easy to install and had no clearance issues. She has the pony pkg so wiring it up was easy. I wanted the stock look honeycomb to match the stock hood scoop I installed. Have had it on for almost 6 months and no problems. Did not come with lights, but stock GT take offs were a perfect fit.
