    Finally got around to installing some fog lights. The cut outs on this bumper make it very tricky to get a good angle, but they should still get the job done. I found these cool dual function fog lights for $30 on Amazon and they are pretty sweet. Ill post reviews after I use them more.

    I cut the holes out bigger and did Squadron Pro’s but I’m gonna replace them with DD SS3 Pro’s eventually since they are SAE.

    But does it work at night?!?! You've got some catching up to do, if you wanna be on rome604's level...MF'r has an overkill amount of BD...like 130,000 lumens...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMtO9qNCeW0

    The bar looks sharp in all seriousness, any hood glare issues?

    Nope, it's the internet and it's therefore a competition.

    I content with the best of them with not having mechanic skills, and gorilla wrenching often leads me towards the top of the who breaks more oem stuff competition!:anonymous:
