No, but in the first pic you can see the strip lit up on the front drivers side wheel.
The brake guard is the piece of metal directly behind your disc brakes. I just put them far enough in that you cannot see them at all from the outside of the vehicle.
I'm all about indirect lighting..........lol. Can't stand it when you can the lights.....lol.

i'm the same way. i see the strip, but now i'm not getting the "putting it in far enough" bit...

i dont know if the boxes are different, but the dust shield on the backside of the disc on a tc is like 1/4 inch thick... not too much space to really move it back all that far.

bah, i guess i'll have to just look at it some more. eventually i'll be ordering another 15-20 strips or so. i'm gonna go 2-3 in the wheel wells, another couple on the underside of the car to fill dead spots that the underbody doesnt shine up, and then i want to put some strips attached to the headliner at the top of the windshield to shine up the dashboard.

maybe some on top of the windows to shine those panels...

hell, might as well get a couple to do the same thing to the hatch...

and cut 2 of them shorter to hide behind the handles in the hatch...


it's only money

I didn't move the shields in, I moved the strips in on the shield, instead of putting them on the edge of the shield, I moved them inwards about half an inch.

How many strips do you need for the xB Grills? Specifically the bottom 2 honey comb grills.

I had a bit of a concern with heat to, but I have taken two road trips so far and had no problems. The longest I have driven so far was 4 hours. Everything is exactly the way it was when I installed it.



Did someone say Killerglass?
