It might be function over form. AFAIK,PO laser needs to reflect back off the car in order to get an accurate reading. There are 2 places on the front of the car where they're aiming : license plate and headlights. FWIW,the most reflective is the license plate and the most common targeted spot to get a reading. The jammers can only cover a certain area and even though he doesn't have a license plate on the front,they'll still target that area out of habbit.

Looking at the front I feel the main distracting feature is actually the centrally mounted auto cruise control thing. If I were to consider moving anything that tooth would be my main focus. In comparison the radar jammers appear a minor issue in terms of aesthetics in that area even though I would agree locating in the side vents would be less obtrusive. I guess it all comes down to whether they will work as well there too. Sometimes function simply has to take over form I'm afraid, and this appears to be one of those occasions. Not to worry OP. It is still an awesome car and that's all that matters in the long run. No point getting too nit picky.

I'll probably put it on if I get too many tickets. The car is really too low to do the under the license plate foldout thing and the tow hook mail does not work because the car has parking sensors. So it's either no front plate or drill the front bumper.

There is no question that if you really focus on it with the camera and take a close-up you can see it. But when just walking by the car unless you are really looking for it you wouldn't notice as the antenna is black
