Jesus that does look slick!!! Never seen that done before. Great job overall!
Thanks guys! The hidden foggers are pretty darn cool. Everyone always likes them, once I tell them they're there! With the tinting & grill in front of them, they're essentially useless, but nevertheless they look cool.

As far as mounting them... I'm still working on a way to get them solidly in place. At the moment, they're held in by the grille itself, some electrical tape, and the wiring. They actually fit very well in behind the grille.

why do the fog lights become useless? is it that not a whole lot of light comes through the grille? anyway i could persuade you to take a picture with the fog lights on?

Well, the tinting made them pretty useless in the first place.

Without the tinting, they'd still light up the road well. Around 40% of the light is blocked by the grill, I'd say.

Here's a pic to give you an idea... roush-front-fascia-black-billet-foglight-delete-grille-aluminum-dash-kit-more-5.jpg

everything looks great. nice car. since no one has asked, i`m gonna ask about the dash kit.

how did the dash kit work out for install? any problems getting the stuff to cover just right? thats alot of pcs in that kit. it looks really good, esp for 29.00. does the stuff want to krinkle around curves?

Thanks! The tinting gave me more of a sleeper look when I had the original grille. Now they're almost invisible until I turn them on!

Thanks man.


The dash kit was great! For the price I couldn't be happier. Honestly I'd take a Roush/Steeda kit over it, but $225+ isn't worth it when you can spend $30 & get it almost as good.

No problems with install. Spray bottle with water + soap mixture and I was set.

(I know "Keep it in the classifieds", but I have an extra kit I'd ship to you for $30 flat. I bought an extra in case I f-ed up... But it was so easy I didn't touch the extra.)
