Default Got 2 questions about adding stuff?

Hi everyone, have 2 questions on my '08 F150 XL. It's kind of plain Jane. I would like to add fog lights, so whats the easiest way to accomplish this. Do I need to cut the grill to install them? Next is the center arm rest. Why in the hell did they not put some cup holders in there? How do I add a center console to accomplish this? Well, I do have one more...lol. Where is the best place to get some nerf bars for the misses to step on when she gets in, this truck is freakin' high off the ground...lol. Thanks, gary.

For the fog lights, theres a drawing of a bracket that someone made to go behind the grill. I cant helpp with the arm rest, but jc whitney is a good place for cheap steps..

As far as the arm rest, no cup holders? My xlt has two cup holders in it. Maybe you can find one in a bone yard, or on ebay?

Actually, here's exactly what's in my 2005 XLT. Not sure what color your interior is, but here's an idea of what I mean:

I'm confused. My 2005 with the center "console seat" has two cup holders, plus the dash has a pop out center cup holder (two). What type of interior do you have?

That's what I was wondering, if someone has done this on the cheap? Thanks, gary.
