Since I have the McCune grille, I didn't need to worry about hiding the horns or painting them black -- they don't show through the grille. But without the grill, painting is definitely in order.

I had my dealer paint mine and it looks MUCH nicer without that silver buck tooth showing through my grill.

Actually you don't need to take the bumper off to install. You can remove the black plastic guard just underneath the front to do it.

Dang, don't have to drop the bumper? Heck, here I was going to wait till winter to do this. Guess I'll look into getting the horns when I get back from vacation!!

I already have painted my AC thingmajigs inside the bumper. Tape, newspaper and some fancy spraying got just the parts sprayed that needed it!!

one of the few design mistakes of this car is the stock horn. air horns should have been stock on the car for safety purposes and for aesthetics. change the horn to air horns and you will find every excuse to hear your horn!!
