Okay, I understand what you are asking now. You are talking about the grill inserts for the facia, not the fog lights themselves. Yes, I obviously do still have those, but they are a part of the facia. Unless your LS facia has the fog light moldings, they would be useless to you. Its not like you can cut out the hole and put those grill inserts in there. The actual fog light mount is molded right into the facia itself.

So If I understand you now, you have the upgraded base model that has the black grill inserts, but no fog lights, right? Well, that's an easy one. First, just because you have that doesn't mean the facia has the fog light moldings behind it. You should look first to make sure, I've never looked myself.
But if you do, you would then get the fog light grills straight from a GM parts counter. I bet they are pretty cheap, like maybe $20 each. You would do better to get them that way then to buy my used ones. Plus I would like to keep them together with my facia.

The actual hole that the fog light mounts to is molded right in the facia. That grill insert is just cosmetic. It doesn't actually attach to the fog light at all. If you don't have a hole in your facia, you can't mount a light there.

there are 2 types of grille inserts that i know of that ones i have now which have no holes for fog lights and the ones you have which have holes for fogs. i know with mine you cant have fogs because there are no holes but with your you can because there are holes. where do i get the inserts with the holes so that i can have fogs? which falls way back to my original question on what you were going to do with yours lol

Okay, you're missing me here.
First, I'm keeping my inserts. If you want some, just go to a GM parts counter and order them. They should be cheap.
But the fact that you are missing is the mounting hole for the foglight is in the FACIA, not the grill insert. Do you understand the difference? Look at all of the pictures above. You will see that the foglight is attached to the FACIA and the grill insert has nothing to do with it.

I am looking to switch my LS bumper to the SS bumper. The price that you got was awesome, but my pricing is about $200 more then yours from the dealer where I live. Would you recommend that I get it from the dealer or from a aftermarket company?

No, not painted.
As mentioned, you have to get the two corner brackets, and they do require some additional hardware. Most everything else is re-used.
