I would like it a lot more if the JDM plate wasn't off to the side. Nice work though!

Word on the jdm plate it looks kinda weird like that off to the side. Also, does it affect or hurt the light output on the fogs since they are hiding behind the bumper like that?

Pretty unique. The only other people that do the behind-the-grille install are cops...

I actually like how that looks. It's a nice change from accord fogs. Is there interfeance because of the grill being in front of the light? Maybe it would look better if The grills andthe back of the grills were all blacked out, and the light lenses darker so they are not so noticeable when they are off. And then when you turn them on it would be kind of like a surprise that they are even there. But I like it. Post the eBay link for those lights

You wouldn't need to buy a new bumper, just retrofit Accord fogs. Search for that.

Also, JDM plate looks bad man...considering the TL is a US made car. They don't even sell the 3G TL in Japan. That's how un-JDM the car is. I mean, it has rattles...clearly a sign of being US made.

Different look. I prefer the fog lights to be spaced out more but it came out good.

agreed.

i don't like it. look's cheap n i don't like the color and how they're mounted behind the grill like that. they look a little crooked as well, doesn't look factory.

but hey if you like it, that is really all that matters. it is YOUR car afterall.

Sickboy, it's definitely different. Something I don't think we've seen here on Acurazine. How do you like them? Are you happy with them?

I have a JDM plate on mine also, sits a little lower so the top is flush to the bumper, and over the grill a bit.

EDIT: Heres my Horrendous JDM plate hahaha.
