Default '12 GT Upper Grill Options?

OK, so I LOVE my car. There are a FEW external things l'd like to change. Up front, #1, not a huge fan of the chrome running horse in the middle. #2, the fog lights I feel should be more centered. #3, current fog light placement is eating up the space where I'd like to install some Laser Jammers/Shifters for optimum performance.

Does ANYONE make a (not $200+) Upper grill replacement that will utilize my stock foglights and move 'em inward and open up some room for my jammers?
I've done a google search and didn't really get too many options. Thanks in advance.

I got those a few months back but from American muscle, they look great but make sure you paint the areas that are exposed behind the grill, especially since your car is a bright color like mine.

With our 6% discount, it's comes right under $200 with super fast shipping.

Thanks guys. Dunno why I didn't see those during my search yesterday. I kept seeing the ones at mrbodykit.com. They didn't look very quality. The 3DCarbonCreations grills will be prefect for my purposes. Getting rid of the chrome running horse, moving the fogs, and having the PERFECT placement for the laser shifters up front....JUST to the outsides of the centered fogs, at the bottom of the grill. Shifters will be in perfect center of the headlights, fogs and license plate. Those, w/ some Veil and a laser diffusing plate cover, the front should be all but invinsible to laser.

Yes, they really DO work...when done correctly...and are NOT illegal. (Laser Shifters are illegal in some states.) Veil and the diffusing plate cover are legal. Of course...check your local laws.

Yeah...that's one of the ones that I saw on my first search....didn't really like it. Looks like the fogs are just tossed back there...and aiming UP.

I LOVE the one being sold at LMR and AM....Think I'll be going w/ that one soon.
