No you cant. The GT grill is bigger and wider.
It wont fit. Some say it will but they are the ones trying to
sell you one. Here is a GT grill crammed into my V6 bumper.
Its pointing up at the sky and does not fit correctly.

There are V6 to Gt grills available that take the GT fogs. I have this one and like it.

No you need to do some wiring but its a piece of cake.
A GT headlight switch will also be needed.
Itgrill justpops rightin andNO horn relocation or
bending of sheetmetal neededas with other V6 to GT
grills that use the stock GT fog locations.

Thiswiring diagramallows for the fogs to be on with the high beams even if they
are off via the fog switchunlike the OEMs that will not be on with the high beams.
The fogs also come on with the high beams when you flash to pass even if they
are not on via the fog switch. They can be wired any way you want them to work.
