Talking Fogs behind billet grille...DONE!!! PICS ADDED!!!

Ok so first off i had a cdc full billet grille. CDCs grille does not use the factory housing, there is actually no housing at all. It also sits back in a little farther than the stock one. So last week i ordered the shelby gt-h grille housing along with the shelby black billet grille. So today i took off the CDC and install the shelby setup. While doing so i decided to play around a little bit with the factory fogs. I had to relocate one of the horns (right one) but other than that it was pretty smooth. I didnt use the stock fog brackets either. Its a tight squeeze, actually so tight you reall dont need any brackets. The fogs are sandwhiched between the frame and the grille. I did use some zip ties in behind it to add a little piece of mind but there is nowhere for them to go. The fogs are tinted as well and i'm super happy with the outcome. They look amazing. Now for the bad news...i went to take pictures and my camera was dead so its charging now. Pictures will be up ASAP!

Question: does it matter which way the fogs are in there? In order for the wires to reach the connectors for the fogs they had to be turned. So they are not sitting the way the factory fogs sat, they are rotated slightly.

PICTURES ARE IN POST #3 AND POST #13

turn them on at night and see if your beams look ok, if they are rotated too much it could give you a funky light beam and blind on coming traffic but with them tinted you should be ok. Congrats bro!

Looks good. I was wanting a shelby grille or a cervivnis but didn't want to lose the fogs, now a may have to reconsider. I also like the yard sign in your sig.

that looks awesome!!! almost like an undercover cop. only thing i want to see is a night shot.

this reminds me of the 80's style GMC/Chevy trucks that had the grille covering the headlights.
