So i installed my new eBay grille and the top grille went on super smooth and easy and i looked at the lower one so they will match and the way the fog lights hook on it appears they hook through the original one. I didnt give it too much of thought but is there even a way i can change out the grille and keep my fogs?





It really bothers me that they dont match even though they didnt match from the factory. I also think im going to take the grille back off and spray the frame piece so it cant be seen through the grille.

 

Cut the grille.

 

I'm assuming your fog lights were dealer-installed. They cut the original lower grille in order to fit the fog lights, you're gonna have to do the same with your eBay grille, unless you wanna fit it over the fog lights, I've seen it done before.

 

yeah you're going to have to modify the lower grille for your fogs. i have the same grille and i had to trim some of the top grille and bumper for mine to fit.

 

yeah i seen the lower cut it looks clean still

 

awesome, that should be easy. Hardest part will be getting my hands in there to remove the lower grille.

 

Take the bumper off. TRD Sparks has the pdf of the fog light install. Use that to help you out. It's pretty easy.

 

Happy Birthday Sam.

happy birfday.

 

It's interesting how different things appeal to different folks. I have a polished billet upper grill and the factory lower grill with fogs -- to me the overall appearance is perfect !

PS. Oh, yeah -- Happy Birthday !

 

im an organization/balance/even freak. It bothers me when stuff isnt level on a wall or whatever. Its a horrible illness.

I didnt do it today, i had it all apart and figured id wait until my vinyl comes in hopefully next week so i wont have to take everything off one more time.

Thanks for the birthday wishes.

 

Does ****-retentive have a hyphen in it?

 

Well, I guess balanced is a question of perspective. To me, this is balanced !



Though I suppose to many, if the upper and lower grills don't appear the same, then something's wrong. Hey dude, whatever works for you. The important thing is you enjoy your car !

 

i studied Architecture and drafting, everythings got a place and correct setting. It ruined me, the gf always moves stuff and bumps pictures askew just to set me off.

 

Just wait until you go blind and she starts moving the furniture around.
