Dimensions needed
 
If anyone knows, what is the clearance behind the v6 grille where there is fake honeycomb by the headlights? I want to drill out the fake honeycomb and put a set of fogs behind it, but i need to know wether they will fit or not. Thanks

I have an extra V6 grill if you want it. I will let it go for a good price.

No they wont. Aftermarket grills with the fogs have the front of the fogs
well past the front of the grill. Bug eyed, kinda. It would be fruitless to try
as the aftermarket grills that take fogs would look better than some jerry
rigged V6 grill cut out for fogs. Get a tape measurer and go out and measure
for yourself. Been there, done that.

Here is a pic and there is zero clearance behind them. ZERO.

There's not much room back there. Iconsidered removing my driver's side PP foglite so I could run a cold air duct to my CAI. It's just too darn tight behind the grill. You can pull off the plastic radiator cover and see what you have to work with. On those clips, pop up the center part of the clip - once it is up or out you can remove the entire clip. If you try to force out the entire clip without doing that, it'll break.

Have you considered mounting foglights in the lower openings on the bumper?
