I really like the fact that the rear is in the middle for us symmetrical OCD guys :p , German cars usually have one fog light left (or right in the UK) and it looks just wrong.
That's just gross

Actually you have got e on that one. I don't recall reading about bumper repair parts that stick on. I would probably be in the zip tie it and forget it crowd for bumper sag anyway.

Totally agree on the symmetry. Asymmetric cars are ugly.








-Unless they're cool.



The Mrs. has a Subaru Legacy and the front fog lights are useless on that, too. Anyway, it is not a big enough problem to actually do anything about it. Other than ranting on car forums, of course.

These are what hella people around here use. Universal and cheaper then most kits. You just need one per side. Some people use 2 if running a splitter and no other bumper mounting points

That feeling when someone says "you should've gotten xxx instead of that" regarding car parts.

I tell them the amount of time I usually spend researching before purchase.. they still say "you should've gotten xxx regardless".

The important thing is you bought what YOU wanted, with YOUR money.
