Here's my 2 cents on it...

It would look good if it was half the size, where the solid mesh starts, and his headlights were modified also. LED jobs only work when the rest of the car is modified, it's aggressive, need's other aggressive parts to pull off the look.

LMFAO agree

You guys gotta admit though, the job is fresh... I had to cut out individual octagons to fit into the holes so they can hold the LED's. What a pain in the a$s.

I've played around with the same ideas on the sports bumper. But I think it's very tough pulling off any LEDs that are external to the headlight unit without making it look "cheap" or "rice". That line is very fine and very easy to cross. I'd prefer to keep all LED additions integrated to the headlight for a more subtle, almost-OEM look and feel (I think you'd agree). I think it'd preserve the class that comes with the G too. That's why people might feel like "uh it's not a Honda Civic".....etc.

Execution is pretty clean. Just don't feel like it matches with the G. I canned that idea because I didn't want to lower the standard for the G community.

I completely agree, that's why I don't offer the service, but if someone comes and hands me cash, theres nothing stopping me from doing it.

They look good as far as install and everything, but maybe if a glass piece was custom made to cover them it would look like it actually belonged there. Sort of what the Q7 has in its' bumper. If I were looking at them closely it looks weird having the led's like that uncovered. Here is what I mean.
