I got tired of that ugly plastic upper and lower grill, so I custom fitted and installed these:
As you can see, I installed after market fog lights behind the upper grill:

Here's a side view:

All lights on with some sun light out:

Thanks, no it's not gutter guard, this grill you will find at your local pep boys and auto zone, it's made by APC, initialy I was going to put them behind the lower grill, but then I got this idea and I never looked back, I love it.

Thanks, I wanted to put at bottom at first, but I think this looks alot cooler.
That grill is high quality, but at around $40 a sheet its pretty damn expensive when gutter guard will give generally the same look. Nice job though... i definitely like the grill. I would like the fog lamps on the bottom also, but hey its your deal and definitely unique looking. Nice job!
FYI - You can get a ticket for driving w/ hi-beams and fog/driving lights in Cali (don't know bout other states). They are only supposed to be used w/ lo-beams.

The grill looks good, but I don't care for the fogs up that high. Good job.

Thanks, I agree, if you can get gutter guard for cheaper, then go for it. I was lucky I found one on sale thou.

Its beeing held in by the bumper where I drew the arrows, it squeezes in pritty good and does not move unless you push in hard from the outside. Also on the top, I folded a piece of mesh I had left over and I shoved it on top to make it tighter.
