I like. Great job on the cleaning project there. Got the intake finally completed I see, that's always a good thing.

Your car is nice and shiny, great job.

I'm not crazy about the lower eyelines. Personally, I would've cut them to follow the contours of the lenses.

Looks nice. Suggestion: OEM foglights. Keep up the good work.

id love to get the OEM foglights but when i looked under there ill have to remove the bumper to install them and i really dont want to go through all that trouble and i dont know if the wiring is the same as the aftermarket once. I did go and ask the dealership and they want $322 canadian for it

You car looks very nice ... well, actually it looks evil, but in a good way.

You don't need to remove the bumper to install the OEM fog lights. There's just enough room to work in there and you can wire them up without all the OEM switches and stuff. I think the total cost for my OEM fogs on my GLS was less than $125 for the lights, parts, and having the switch, relay, and wiring done professionally.

You should mesh in the lower grille area to integrate with the mesh grille above.

It's easier to remove the headlights, and work from the top. And, like ghrpdx said, it's easy to use the stock components. Look at the DIY here for more details.

if your arms and fingers are flexible enough, you can install fog lights without removing anything. I did so.

Listen, as far as OEM foglights on the '04+, it's super easy. All it is, is 3 little 8mm nuts (or 10mm, or maybe screws, but it's 3 of them). You can lay on your back with the car up on those 2 little ramps you've got and do the work. It's a piece of cake, trust me. Order them from KDMGuy's website, as they are cheaper than going to the dealer.

well i did it the easy way i drilled a few holes in the lip then stuck it on with some 3m tape. Then when it was on i just drilled them through the lip into the bumper and used 6 self tapping screws on each side
