Yea, benefits of having the replica. I think the wider mesh looks more aggressive

I've seen a couple like that. Wasn't a big fan so I went with vertical

Not sure if this is exactly what you meant but there's one in harrison1277's thread

It looks good, vertical is more for my taste though.

i gotta say that look is growing on me

I liked mine originally because the black line followed the line of the mesh grille down, but the vertical approach looks more aggressive

im gunna try that whenever i re-do mine

Nah, my current grille is painted. But my stock grille I had on it before was plasti-dipped. Plasti dip holds strong. Never got a chip on my old grille. Plus, if anything does happen which is a small probability, you can always redo it.

Haha go for it. I'm gonna strip mine off and get it painted, just wanted to make sure I like the look of it before I actually painted it.

So I got the halo fogs installed! Kept the original mesh pieces. It really doesn't create a huge gap, with the smaller fogs, so it still looks good!

Only problem when we installed. My friend who was making the custom brackets for the fogs forgot about the gap in the halo lights (which I warned him about ), so the gaps aren't facing the same direction...

Doesn't really bother me but I'm definitely still gonna get it fixed because it doesn't look good in pictures, but honestly rolling down the street no one notices it and it looks sick!

The halos match AZN's 5000k parking lights, and instead of wiring it to its own switch we just wired them to the parking lights.

Here are a couple pictures.

During the day:


The iPhone camera makes em look like they aren't even halos
-____-



But I turned the headlights on and adjusted the exposure. Still doesn't look like it does in person. The halos are much thinner.



I will try and get some better pictures but you guys have an idea of how it looks for now!

This was one of my favorite mods. Its by far the most original thing I've done, and it looks so nasty in person!!!

Yea I wish there were bigger but those were the biggest I could find on ebay that had the CCFL rings instead of LED lol. Honestly looks better in person though, the size looks perfect until I take a picture of them haha

And yea thought about it, but I wasn't sure if I wanted them on all the time so I just took the safe way out
