Might want to pull that lower piece and slap a coat of black paint on the inner bumper, the yellow b/g is very noticeable and out of place.

Personal preference aside, I really like the looks of your MCS.

It looks great but I second Amorican's opinion. It would give it a cleaner look. It is a bit distracting to see the yellow only though the middle grille.

Looks cool.


I thought you should paint the part behind also but after seeing the pics at night I think it looks cool like that.

I finished my air horns the other day. I am glad we figured out the wiring thing. Made is SO easy to install.

Ya. They are loud. =)

They have a very old euro sound to them. I dont recall what year the Fiat was they came off of. But they were installed in Italy. The combo of the new horns with the air horns sounds cool. Gives the car a more euro sound
