The OEM lotus horn is weak, and since the car is so low, it seems common for people to be backed into when waiting in lines… i guess. I figure it can’t hurt, I bought them at a great price. Coming from the STi world, I’m used to seeing a lot of hella supertones installed behind the grills . I really like the look. ![http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/9647/20061111images0048ir0.jpg](http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/9647/20061111images0048ir0.jpg) ![http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/1/web/2365000-2365999/2365823_41_full.jpg](http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/1/web/2365000-2365999/2365823_41_full.jpg) I’m just wondering how that would look behind the mesh of the exige bumper… They would look a little more subdued compared to the STis, because they would be back a little bit more. ![http://img37.picoodle.com/data/img37/3/9/22/f_Union7m_8c7a1de.jpg](http://img37.picoodle.com/data/img37/3/9/22/f_Union7m_8c7a1de.jpg) I already have a red tow hook in front… I feel like it would look pretty awesome. I realize that I would need to remove the front clam to do this. I’m wondering if it would be too ricey… Otherwise I’ll just place them in a similar location to the stock horn. ---

a lotus is not ricey, therefore cannot be made to look ricey ---

It’ll probably look pretty cool. Would be a PITA though if you didn’t like it. ---

> [@Willybeen](#): > > i dont think theyd be quite that “big” either. Agreed, original post edited, i still should put the tow hook in but it gives a decent Idea. they might still need to be a bit smaller too. ---
