IROC to RS/Z28 louvered grille swap

I've searched the threads using the search button, but never found an exact answer to what I'm particularly looking for. I have the grille that reads camaro in the middle, however, I have the stock fog lights the car came with. The car I have is an 87 IROC.

I've been interested in the louvered grille the RS/Z28 comes with, and I want to know if it'll fit over the fog lights with no prob (looks like it'll fit over the grille I currently have with no problem, or so that's what I think). I want to keep the fog lights on the car, as I don't mind them being covered up.

All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, and happy New Year!

I don't believe it will work; the foglights sit in the same vertical plane as the grille, hence the need for the cutouts in the IROC grille.

Hmm, I'm curious as to what the back side of the RS grille looks like.

With the angle the "blades" of the louvered grill sit at, fog lights would be rendered pointless anyway?

Looks pretty much just like the front.. Mounting points are on the top and bottom of it.
