It's really not that flashy. With my custom grille you can see them more but with the stock grille I think it would be pretty hard to see them. I also got them to match my blue fog lights and everyone I have talked to has said they really like the contrast. The car seems a bit dull in the front stock but I really like the look of mine now. The only thing I need is a front lip.

Scoops
OK I just got mine today and was really loking forward to doing the install. I got home and took the cover off the radiator area and removed both horns. The passenger side went on ok but I have stared at the other side for over an hour and cannot figure out how to install the drivers side scoop!! I mean you have got to be kidding me! This was going to be so simple....
When you match the drivers side bolt hole with the horn bolt nothing else lines up. In fact nothing lines up at any bolt hole on that side. The latch for the hood is in the way etc etc etc. So can someone please post some very specific pics of the bolt holes and exactly how to do the horn. I reversed the direction of the horns and that didn't work either.I have seen the pics of how they are pretty equally balanced when you look through the grill but believe me you will have to be a magician to line bolt holes on the drivers side. I can't believe this is hard for me to do. Are the bolt patterns different on each scoop? Mine are the same.
Thanks for the help in advance!

I know this "mod" is not high-tech (just a bit more difficult than the Joe-Z intake, which is not), but I was completely baffled that this company sells you a product to install on your vehicle and then DOES NOT EVEN PROVIDE INSTRUCTIONS!!!
I was part of the 3rd batch that was made after owners had commented on the grounding issues, and still they fail to add instructions for future buyers. How sad is it that installing instructions had to be provided via a YouTube video FROM A CUSTOMER?? This manufacturer stated back in January that they would be running tests and would post results. Multiple requests have been made for any kind of follow up, and they have not responded in any form or fashion.

Considering how this whole process has played out, your experience comes as no surprise. Good luck getting the correct scoop by Christmas. These guys cannot answer an email, reply to a post, or follow up on their own statements to save their lives.

It's a joke...

There is simply NO EXCUSE for POOR customer service. Nothing pisses me off more than when someone takes my money and offers no help afterwords!
