Default Custom mesh grill(fog lights behind upper grill)56K beware!

I got tired of that ugly plastic upper and lower grill, so I custom fitted and installed these:
As you can see, I installed after market fog lights behind the upper grill:

Here's a side view:

All lights on with some sun light out:

Another side view:

Hope most of you will like, thanks for any remarks.

Hey, (i'm writing from my gf's username) But i just wanna say that i think your setup is hella sweet. How do the lights not interfere with anything behind them, and how well do they illuminate through the mesh?
How did you get that installed too, my gf wants fog lights and if i can copy your setup, we might save some money on it.

ummmm... looks good, but i think the fog lights would look a hell of a lot better on the lower grill.

Thanks, I'll post pics of behind the grill so you can see how they don't interfere with anything. They illuminate just fine, the mesh does not interfere with the beam at all. I'll post a "how to" when I get a chance hopefully tonight. Just to let you know I got one grill at pep boys(33 bucks) and the other at auto zone(16.99) the fog lights I got at walmart(about 22 bucks)
