I'd say yes if you put it BEHIND the grill so it's a little less of an eye sore. That shouldn't affect the lighting too much since their so narrow as it is.

Just my opinion though. Do what you like.. don't follow the crowd

IMO, the lights should've been mounted either all the way near the top or very bottom of the grill opening. not in the middle!!! other option is circular fogs. those are even better!

that's my .05 cents

No, toykilla had a nice setup in his Z where they were recessed behind the grill. Real professional looking.

Beats me, I just saw the pictures before and after it happened. It looked good, but I guess you could PM him (maybe he posted a how-to on **********.com where he's a moderator).

i don't really like it.
if you want foglights..... contact a member by the name of big-al. he has the cleanest set up i've seen so far. (i think toykilla had a similar if not the same). he mounted it behind the grille. the lights are circular and best of all, they're HIDs.

I usually hate this kind of stuff but they look pretty good on your car. I think they would look much better though if you could recess them into the grill more so the aren't so obvious.

I agree with the whole behind the grill logic as well, but to each his own

in general, i like fog lights, but it doesnt look right in that picture. if it was that appearance or go without it, i would go without it.

I was thinking of doing the same thing until I saw one in person. IMO the lights stick out to far and I didn't like the cut on the grill. Like others said, Big Al has one of the best setups.

I'm sure it looks okay at night, but from the pics it looks like 2 air fresheners clamped onto the front grill. I think it will look a whole lot better if you put them behind the grill. But hey, props for trying and if you like them, thats all that really matters.

imo i think if you got round fog lights and put the in the bottom corners or towards the center it would look pretty good but what you got now is ok. not ugly no great just ok. if you like it who gives a crap what everyone else thinks.
