Sounds like they took out one of the "blank" switch cover and forgot to replace it. I'd go back and ask them for it.....

The existing grill gets modified. Check the link for the instructions.
For what it is worth, I attempted to do this without removing the entire front bumper cover. It is not worth it, It is easy to remove the cover and it is very easy toinstall the fogs with the bumper cover removed.

Okay... this is major surgery. I didn't really want those fog lites anyway. Are these fogs the same as the normal driving lights? I mean, do they limit the height of the beam like the driving lights? I ask this because I figured that the fogs would solve the problem I have wih the driving lights... namely that I loose sight of the road when coming down from an incline and the road levels out. You get that temporary blind spot. Really annoying. Scion says this is normal and is true of all new cars. To me it is just plain hazardous. But if fogs won't fix this, no need to bother.

Ok, little off topic, but what size rims is that in the pic and do you have a drop kit? Thanks.

19x8.5 Axis Decades
40 offset I believe. I have the same wheels and the TRD springs as well. I just can't recall the offset used.

I think the pics in this thread are before the springs went in. He has pics of the car with the TRD springs installed here

Parrot 3200LS from CompUPlus ($139) with a Metra harness from Crutchfield ($29).
Works great.
