i siliconed black door trim on top and bottom of space and drilled the mesh in from the back into the trim i also used 2 zip ties by where the fog lights use to be in top corner
Me personally I would push the center piece bottum forward

paint the mesh black and you won't even notice the different glare. and clear the corners. And just curious why did you pull the fog lights out? didn't like them?

Clear your corners and paint the bezels, and polish the lens. They start to look better

Haha! I always make fun of Saturns for looking cross-eyed during the day. A simple fix, however, is to disable your DRLs. That's what I did. If you must have something on during the day though, consider putting some white LEDs in the low beams and throw 'em on a switch.
On a similar note, 2003/4 models moved the DRLs into the low beams, eliminating the cross-eyed look.

What you could have done or still can do imo is paint the mesh flat black and then clear you corners and paint your bezels black like on my car. I love the look and my rims are also painted a graphite color.

Or just use your parking lights.

Its a good modification for the car. Benefits with looks and helps filter the radiator.
But they do look different colors....as mentioned before get them painted flat black.
