    I dont think it looks bad. Is it just screwed onto the plastic of the bumper?....if so it will most likely shake on you.

    It looks good, i would stilll do a bar though cause i would think its a bit more stable and if i ever wanted to modify anything i wouldnt have to fix the holes in the bumper. i try to sway away from anything that causes drilling holes, unless need be.

    I was thinking of doing something similar but making a bracket that would be attached and running it out from inside the grill and mounting some led spots. Just trying to justify the cost to myself now. I think it looks good.

    Me personally, I like the lights behind the grill but you have to have a satoshi or billet. But it does look good!

    lol mods probably did that in paint. they like to protect our plates.

    looks good OP. a light bar will be cheaper but a new bumper would look sexier :D plus you could remount them much more secure
