nice. I have a question, did the dealer put the front license plate on? I don't want mine in the middle because I'm afraid it will block the intercooler...

I asked my dealer not to drill the front bumper for the license plate. I got the "No Holes" License Plate Bracket (LPB) that goes in the tow port on the side.

Apparently the plate bracket is put on at the VPC per CA law for any car that's destined for CA. :0((( I wanted to get the bracket that wnt in the tow hook spot but oh well I suppose. You'd think that car companies would make a front bracket that didn't require holes on the front of the bumper...

What type of covers are those on your fogs? They look great!

to be honest, once the lights are turned on there's no visible difference in color or intensity. The blue tint gives the housing a slightly blue hue and that's it. The yellow fog covers, on the other hand, make the fog light output quite a bit yellower (which I like).
