The design of the lower grille is what sticks out. The chrome ring goes around that and not the fogs.

Just got my bumper and sides... can't wait to get home to check them out... Hope I can install soon... will post pics once I'm done.... I need to figure what to do with that front license plate though...

I was hoping the tow hook was going to work but it seems like it won't so we'll see what I end up with...

That chrome piece is a attached to the lower grille. When you buy those lower grilles from a parts store thats how they come. I am thinking you can just paint it black if you want to go that route. The only think I am wondering is if the bumper might need to be messed with. Since when I installed my fogs on my sport bumper I attached the actual fog light to the bumper, it had a certain cut-out for the fogs. I do know that 2011 non-sports use the same part # as the 2008-2010 sport bumpers so there shouldn't be any problem. The fog must just conect to the lower grilles and attach somehow.

Those are the OEM fogs for the 2011 sport bumper, should be the same as the 2011 non sport OEM fogs.

Did you need anything else besides the included wiring to install? How is the quality on these when lit? Do you have any pics?
