yes I know that, I'm referring to how so many people swap out their factory fog light grill and go with one similar to your factory grille. with or without the tribar pony emblem. In the area I live in its all you see

Personally I like the center grill fog lights especially with the lemans stripes, your grill looks pretty sweet Gabe 9195

I'm in the same situation with chin splitter! Just not made for the '14 yet. I think Gabe's suggestion is going to be your safest bet.

I'll second the good look on yours Gabe! I'll be grabbing up that retro billet - hopefully at the sale price.

Thanks guys. The pic I posted in my previous reply wasn't my car, just a pic off AM's site.

This is mine:

Even better Gabe!

That's the exact placement I plan for my fog lights, glad to see it's possible.

Just gotta be careful when you drill/install the upper grille.
I originally had it set back a little, and the fog lights wouldn't fit back into their locations anymore.
I unscrewed the clips and re-mounted the grille further out so that it's completely flush with the bumper cover surround, and they barely fit back in:

And yes, I took off the bumper cover for the install ...
