Center Fog Grill

RE: Center Fog Grill
I believe 3dCarbon brings the lights alot closer together than the Street Scenes or generic from ie. BlueOval Ind. If you go with blue oval, make sure you specify 2nd generation grill and make sure they pack it better as some friends who got it have had some broken tab issues (current shipping box is a weak chinese box, very tight fit). I had the blue oval. Not bad but just wanted a totally different look.

I have the 2nd generation StreetScene.
Took two tries to get me one without
broken tabs. If you actually break a tab
during installation, you are being too
rough with it. Otherwise the tabs are
strong and resist installation breakage
but not tab breaking chinese box shipping.

Also make sure you are careful screwing in your fogs to the new grill, as my openings were smaller than the openings on the factory oem grill. Either get smaller screws or drill out the opening a bit so you wont crack the wall. I piled on a bit of JB weld arond the circular frame where the scres go to strengthen the walls.

on their grills. Slightly warm the screw before installing it so it cuts the
plastic threads easier. Do not use the OEM Stainless hardware unless
specifically instructed to do so in the instructions that come with the
new Eleanor grill. And please paint the area behind the grill with semi-flat
black paint while it is out.

If you notice on this photo with the center grill, I had not painted the radiator frame and surrounding and it looked horrible.
In this photo, before I put on the GT500 front clip, I painted the entire area visible through the grill with a good old can of black rustoleum. I definitely, highly, but not limited to strongly, recommend painting this area.
Final result:

This is a good thread.
I didn't have fitment problems with my street scene grille.
Only the driver side fogbolb socketwas hitting the edge of the radiator support. So I bent it, in order to clear.
I was like, WTF, they don't try their sh#t before they put it on the market?
