TYC lights/altezza grill

Just got my tyc black projectors and altezza grill put in and i got to say i'm pretty po-ed. they both look good - don't get me wrong, but the headlights really don't fit as snug as i'd like(little gaps here and there) and the altezza grill from rs version had some ripples in the abs plastic right under the waffling(had to sand em out) even then there is no place for a tapeline so my body guy had to make his own. plus the bulbs are really crappy in the lights too -- not even as bright as stock. Just had to vent a little -- i thought it was going to be a lot easier. You barely notice the gaps and i was getting new bulbs anyway, and you only notice the paint line on the grill if you're really close(ft or 2). if you're **** like me about your car find someone who already has what you're looking at putting in before you buy it

the paint line is where the waffling meets the smooth surfaced part which you would paint to match that little lip on our hoods...........the only problem with it is real hard to get a smooth tape line down
