Default 2013 front end

Is the front end the same on the 2013 v6 and the v8 cs?
Will the grill of a gt (lights in grill) fit in the v6?

It looks like the grille for a 2013 v8 will fit in the 2013 v6

The V-6, GT, and Boss all have the same front bumper. The only thing to watch out for is that the GT and Boss grilles have a black grille surround to clear the fog light ports instead of the chrome V-6 grille surround. I don't think the billet-style V-6 MCA and GT/CS grilles need that surround.

If I put a gt or a boss grille in 2013 v6 would that be posing?

As long as you dont have a Gt emblem no. With the way they are now it can be difficult to tell the diffrence if you don't know what to look for.

I would never put GT emblems on a v6.
I have fog lights,but I would like fogs in the grill too.
Long drive home at night with lots of deer.

No its not posing, OP.
Most people aren't going to be able to tell the difference when you change out grilles. Those that will be able to tell the difference should also be able to pick up on the fact that its a V6.

That grille looks sick. Go for it.

Forgot to add that if your V-6 is a base model, you will need to replace the light switch and buy or make the proper wiring harness to make the GT foglights work. LMR sells a wiring kit including the switch:

I have a v6 premium pony package, so it includes fog lights. Can i use the fog light wiring on a GT grille with those fog lights?

Pretty much, is the wiring the same for pony package fog lights and GT fog lights?

This right here:
