Looks good. About time you got fogs.

Btw how much did you get your grill for?

[white3ch0c0late]

WHAT!? $95!? ...outrageous... why didn't you do it yourself??? please tell me that the original hole covers were molded to the bumper and weren't the ones that just pop off.

it's not pop outs. they had to cut the bumper and plaster it on some how. 95 is cheap considering their original quote was much higher considering the man labor. If it was pop offs I would have done the work myself -- I didn't want to cut and screw up the bumper.

Grill was was rip off -- online quote was 60 bucks, he charged a finders fee and ended up paying 90. don't go to norcal customs for any type of grill. Though the grill is authentic from toyota and completely OEM. Dealer was going to charge 200 for the same shiet.

Looks great!

But is that $95 just for the install itself or for the parts to?

[Gellenole]

^^ just on install itself. Parts came from ebay =P now I just need to know how to get to the bulbs.

[thapranksta]

I did mine myself in a few hours. Only had to buy epoxy and use my dremel. But hey.....I can understand your skepticism toward doing it yourself. If you had done it though, you would have been like "Man, that was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I'm glad I didn't pay to have it done.". At any rate,

is epoxy that strong? or JB weld is stronger?

Looks better with fogs, nice decision. I want to install fogs on my gen5.5 but not sure how I can install it since I dont have SE bumpers.

Take off the bolts at the bottom of the car for the splash guard. Pull down the splash guard. Reach in from underneath and reach the bulbs.

I used industrial strength epoxy from Home Depot which claimed to be able to hold 2500 lbs. Not sure how accurate that is but it sure as hell worked! It created a bond that was very hard and looked pretty hard to break. JB Weld is also pretty good for the fogs as far as I hear. I used JB weld in my HID retro and it worked there but for some reason I wanted to use something that seemed stronger in my fogs.

Looks great, thats one of my next projects too....Dont worry I would have coughed up the money too to get it done right and Im going to get them to do the wiring as well so it comes out clean, thats what I plan to do at the same time I install my SE headlights

[thapranksta]

I did the plug and play option using the stock fog wiring harness. No messy wiring necessary but it does cost more money going that route.

[Gellenole]

the ebay wiring harness goes straight to a switch and turns on independent of the headlights.

[thapranksta]

Yeah, I'm aware of that. It's just cleaner using the turn signal stalk and somebody did a mod where you can change the stock fogs to come on independent of the headlights. Either way, fogs definitely make the Gen 5 look better.
