Adding fog lights/ driving lights in lower grill area.

I am really surprised Ford doesn't put any auxiliary lighting on the SHO.  I have been looking at adding a set of HID or LED driving lights in the area of the lower grill that is closed off (on the ends).  Has anyone else done this, and do you have any pictures or how-to advice?

Didn't SwampRat put a set of fogs on his SHO?

The lower grill is where the turbo intercooler is located. blocking part of that will hurt the cooling of the air going to the motor.
Instead of those corner lights it would have been nice to have fog lights there. If you dont have active cruise control than you could use that space on the side.

Yes swam rat did do. The intercooler is sandwiched between radiator and condenser.

The 2011 has areas at the ends of the lower grill that do not have any holes, so I would not be blocking any openings.  I will see if I can find Swamprat's install.  Thanks!

Thanks, that looks great SR!  I just wish those suckers weren't almost $400!

jtoddk98    .....  I had it made by a shop in tulsa that does vinyl and graphics work .

It could easily be replicated by any vinyl lettering shop.
I think it cost me around $60.00 , done in reflective white.

I remember getting one made 15 years ago for my 94 SHO. Had it made to look like the SHO on the car back then, only $20. Holy inflation.
