Glad you like it!

I'll post a photo tomorrow of the red-painted foam stuffed in the upper grill.

Here's another tip for you. If you are paint-shopping, pop out that little round piece in the front where the tow eye-bolt goes, and take it in the store with you. Use it as a portable body piece you can compare with the colors in the store.

It was pretty handy!


FOG LAMPS:
They don't do anything. This car has the HID headlights they are extremely bright and cut through snow and rain. I've tested them in various light, with and without the foglights on. With the HID headlights the fog-lights really don't so anything. I considered NOT covering the fog-lights because I think they are kinda neat looking, NOT that I ever actually use them!
