I think that is about a 68% - that and $5.00 will get anyone your address from the MN DMV!

I like the placement of your fog lamps 8)

yeah, i like those fogs! what brand are those??? easy setup?

The fogs are way cheap, but the install is a yes/no answer. If you've already got the bumper shell off to do something else it's the easiest thing in the world. You can even throw the brackets for them in the trash. But if you don't have the bumper skin off, you'd have to think about whether or not you wanted to drill four hole holes in the horizontal surface of that center bumper section. Not a bad thing in iteslf, but then you couldn't have them actually recessed into the grill like I do, and you couldn't get them lined up centered in the grill slots. It's not a difficult job, just fussy. But based on your complitments, worth it for me. If you want more info. just ask. Though it doesn't show well in this pic, I've got perforated inserts in the stock foglight openings. More pics of that later, maybe even today.

What did you use for the OEM foglight inserts?

Check out the plumbing section of building supply places. I put perforated black ABS "drain covers" into my foglight coutouts. The tubes are three inches in diameter with a 1/4 inch flange (you don't have to be super neat doing the cutout because the flange will cover up boo-boos). What's more, if you cut out the openings just slightly small, they force-fit in without any other form of attachment. However, you could use small screws through the flanges if you were paranoid. The tube end extends about two inches into the back side of the opening, so there's material available to attach a cold air intake setup if you're into that kind of thing. These drain covers are also available in chrome (with round or square perfortions, as I recall). I've only seen the black ABS ones in round perforations, but there may be other styles out there.

I ended up using some 1 3/4 by 4 3/4 inch rectangular foglights that I had laying around unused for years which happened to fit perfectly into the "grid" pattern of the lower grille. I had originally been thinking of installing air horns in the foglight openings, and had been looking for some kind of grilles for them, but it got a little too challenging, so I just mounted the air horns basically where the original horn was and put the perforated tube ends in just because I thought they looked good. The black contrasts just slightly with the bumper material color, and makes my black Element look subtly different from anyone else's.

aaahhhoooooogggaaaahhhhh!



:lol:

is it a model E?
