Is there space for a aftermarket fog light bracket to mount?

Negatory, i bought these lights and i'd recommend you stay away. They don't fit. The fog light hole on the bumper is about 3" wide and those fogs are over 4" in diameter. On top of that, you'll have to find some way to make your own mounting bracket, these will not fit the original mounting bracket. I ended up bending the bracket it came with to make it fit, and now they point downwards. AND... to top it all off, after installing them about a week later there's condensation inside the lamps...

What about these fog lights, they look just like the oem. Will they fit like oem foglights?

Those look good to go for aftermarket ones. Make sure you use the 30% ebay cashback, that'll save you a good amount for those :D

As far as i know, yes those ones will fit just like OEM's, however they won't be plug 'n play, you'll have to run the wiring from the lights to the battery and install a switch in the dashboard through the firewall. Butter than the autopia light though. also that auction is for the lamps only, i believe i've seen an auction from the same seller that also includes the wiring and switch.

To get cashback you gotta sign up for a live account. The process seems long and sketchy but I've bought many things and its totally worth it.

As for the aftermarket fogs, the ones you posted earlier seems to be the best fitment ones since they are OEM aftermarket replacement.

Reminds me of something you would see on a truck/jeep. Interesting though for sure.

Nothing is going to look as good as factory, however OEM fogs are pretty useless. Yes these are very straight, level, and extremely blinding (they are PIAA HID) got a great deal on them from amazon, paid less than half of retail.
