my friends & i both think that putting those superwhite bulbs are cool. i personally like it a lot & won't get rid of it until it burns out.

The blue only shows sometimes depending on the lighting in the area. All Superwhite bulbs (PIAAs, CATZ, etc.) have a light blue coating on them, so sometimes when taking a picture, the blue shows up. Usually in person, it doesn't look like that.

BTW, that grill looks good.. but it already looks kind of black to me. Either way.... looks sweet. What did you use to make it?

I know exactly what you did GO-typeS. I like it. I say you should leave it the way it is. Good job. What did you do to keep them in place? Certainly helps protect the radiator and air compressor in the front from pebbles. Interesting observation though. It must be a hell of a challenge everytime you back into the garage . The width seems mighty narrow...or is it just the angle of the pics?

wtf? hey ray you need some new glasses!!!! he's talking about teh mashed grill at the bottom, between the two fogs.... if you have been looking at the main gril (the one with acura on it) you haven't known your car well enough at all. ie you havent' washed your car often enough

thanks man. btw, i just remove the licence plate holder, slide the grill in, & then put the holder back on. so far no problem at all. thus, i believe the lic plate holder is good enough to keep the grill in place. things to worry about 1) cut it as perfect as u can (too small will make it sliding back & forth) 2) it will scratch your bumper a little bit anyway when u put the grill in.

the first picture he posted didn't show it. he photoshopped that current picture brighter ....and re-edited his first post with the new pic. and yes, i know he was talking about the grill between the fogs :thefinger :p

I lightened up the shot a bit so you can see it better.
