I had a feeling someone would suggest a grille delete or an alternate grille. I really like the foglights where they're located and as visible as they are. If someone make a high-flow grille that still retained the stock foglights in the stock location (without hiding them) then I'd probably jump on it. I'd get the Roush lower grille delete but that's just ridiculous how much they want for that kit (not that my Roush front splitter wasn't a total ripoff either).

Me too!
Good idea. The brush you use, is it one of those boars hair brushes Autoality sells?
I use a round stiff bristle brush on the grill when washing the car. Our grills are a pain in the **** to keep clean. I will use a soft bristle brush after it's dry to lightly apply the trim restorer. I like to apply it almost dry on the grill. If you don't get it completely out of the corners it becomes a dust magnet.
When we got our Legacy the trim needed some love. On some of the larger areas I let it sit overnight in the garage and wiped it down the next morning. It has held up very well.

I was suggesting it as a joke John lol. If you really wanted fog lights you could get some of those decals they use on stock cars. Also that's a grill block off plate definitely not high flow.

I figured you were joking, but I fully expected someone to say "get ____ grille because it's easier to clean, etc". And looking at the pic quickly on my phone I didn't notice that grille was blocked off, but I can definitely see that now.

I used to spray the honeycomb with Chemical guys Black to Black. It's an aerosol, I'd just lay some newspaper on the bumper so it didn't overspray. Lasted for a couple of washes and I didn't have to spend an hour getting into each nook.
