Thumbs up 96 sc with a 97+ grill
i wanted to install a grill on my 96 front bumper but i haven't found any pics of what it looks like. i do like the 97 bumper but i rather have the sharp end fogs. they look better in my opinion(for some strange reason). any help will be appreciated. also how do you guys think it will look. thanks guys.

Try to find pics of the wald kit. It's a pre-97 style with a grille.

the sharp ones do look better kinda, but they are designed to be cornering lights not fog lights, and with my hid's in there it kinda shoots everywhere but forward. (I even have a 95 sc which they come factory as fogs and not cornering lights, they still suck)

the 97+ fogs are more functional as fog lights.
the wald kit does look sweet though.

That might actually look pretty good. I do agree with you about the pre 97 fogs looking better.
