Default Grill opinions needed, mixed feelings....

Well my wife has brought something to my attention. (yes my wifes opinion is for some reason getting to me with regards to my car) But anyways.. So I have the CDC Billet grill with the fogs mounted behind. For some reason my wife absolutely hates that way it looks. And its really got me thinking... I am thinking I might want to switch to the center mount grill.... Opinions???

which kind of center mounted lights are you looking at, the ones where they are touching together or the one that have a small space between them?

i like the way that the Agent 47 grill looks....no center emblem and you get to keep the fogs.

I would keep the billet and just remove the fogs. The center fog look only seems to work with non-stock fascias. I had one on my car long enough to see it installed and pulled it back off as the fogs just looked out of place in the center.

I think the center mount like you're talking about would look good on your car, even with the stock fascia simply because you have the hood scoop - it should flow together well. For example - I want the same fogs on mine, but I'm not going to do it until I get the bumper to bumper stripe(s) on it first, just so I can see how they'll 'flow' with the stripe. If that makes any sense at all...

Well I know I need to repaint the area behind the grill, its been over a year since I painted it. But I have been gone the whole time. I think I am going to see if someone wants to trade for a center mount or maybe just buy one so I can have both.

I am not really concerned with the light output. I am thinking about repaiting everything behind black, then tinted the fogs pretty darks so its hard to see them.
