Rep Power: 0 Question:
They sell the altezza grill that gets inserted in the upper part.
But they sell rolls/sheets of mesh that can be cut to fit and wired into place.
Anyone have opinions on these?
I wanted to get coverings for both upper and lower, but I also have OEM foglights on the bottom, so I was concerned about covering them(or putting the mesh in between).
Also does anyone think it would look bad if I had the altezza grill, but the mesh on the bottom part?
Would the cut mesh start scratching the inside of the areas?
Questions, questions, questions. Sorry, but I'm really interested.
I want to only take off my bumper once, so I was thinking about installing fog lights, clearing my headlights, and adding the grill/mesh all in one day. Sounds more convenient, right?

Rep Power: 788 My friend's truck had a lower grill put in and it eventually cut into his compressor. With our cars, I think you need the OEM grill to hold the fog lights in place. I think the mesh looks really bad on a stock bumper. Just get the upper grill and a lip kit or new bumper.

Rep Power: 0 I thought that the mesh in between the two fog lights on a stock bumper would look good, and keep the inside edges (where the fog light removal screws are) covered and be a partial theft deterrant.
Why do you all think? Does anyone by chance have their car that way?
I was also thinking about getting a lip kit, so that I don't get rid of my stock bumper and have it laying around. Also, I don't see any pics of people with new bumpers that have OEM foglights in them. I don't think they'd fit, would they?
Also, what about the idea of an altezza top with mesh lowers (covering the foglights, or placed between them?)
