Fog lights or no fog lights

Alright, I have a 91 camaro rs thats teal that some of you probably know. I currently have the iroc-z grill on there. Now the thing is do you think I should put fogs on my car or not, I basically want the stock look. I want to buy the stock ones but I want to put different bulbs in such as those blue halogens. Just want some opinions if people like the fog lamps or they look better without them, thanks!

W/ fog lights it will look better. For just the lights look to pay about 120-200$ new. then you have to get mounting brackets, impact bar, all the wiring and a switch. As far as new bulbs in them, the stock bulbs are bright enough. Mine are brand new and people flash their high beams at me all the time.

In my opinion, fog lights look better. I use mine so much that it has gotten to the point that I find it hard to drive at night without them. Plus, they remind me of little fangs on our cars

Get the fog lights. The grill was made for them, and in my opinion, it looks bad without them. If you decide not to get fogs, get the RS grill and leave the front plate off.

PErsonally, I like it without them, I've never liked the fog lamps there, I never figured it out, but it seems to me like the uglest place to stick the ****ers.
