I bought and installed brighter DRLs. You can also see the leave guards which I installed over the air intakes. A total cost of $35. Your thoughts.

Nice, but they are blocking ~20% of the already slightly blocked intake. (By the "aftermarket" screens)

Not bad. Integrated is even better.

Hurdi, do you have any pics of your instal process for the grills? I thought about this last winter when I had my bumper cover off, but there was so many curves, I couldn't find a way to mount the grating.

Wrong color. Don't line up with the head lights. Don't match the lines on the bumper where you mounted them (e.g. Sticks out). And it's been shown that DRLs do nothing for safety and in some cases of exceptionally stupid drivers, they decrease it (not turning on their headlights at dusk/dark).

I applaud that you do these types of things Hurdi, but the result isn't there. As long as you're happy with it though.

Probably because they would have gotten typing cramps from actually pointing out all the ones that deserved it!
