I suck and need some help

Okay. So I don't know if I want fogs on my car (the factory ones) because I'm not sure they will go with the current look of my car.

Anyways, could someone who doesn't suck as horendously as me at photoshop do me a quick favor and put some fogs on this picture and make it look somewhat real?

Thanks.

That was actually EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you so much!

What do you think? Put some on? or no?

hmmmm well I don't want to lose the grille. I like it, and people compliment it a lot.

So assuming I keep the grille, fogs or not?

Fogs. But I also fall into the not fond of the grille camp.

I like the look of the fogs with the factory bumper.
Some after market bumpers look much better without the fog lights however.

I think with your grille on the factory bumper... I'd say no to the fog lights.
It would look "busy" IMO.

The fogs are going to change your look at night the most. I'm fond of the look especially when you do the foglight mod.

Foglight - Grill = Win

I don't think the grille is all that bad.
It's just that I would go for one or the other.

Fogs and no grille or grille and no fogs......
That's just my 2 cents.

Word. I just love the look of those high powered LED fogs. But oh well, I've got like 8000K headlamps...

But thanks for the input!

What do you think about adding an air-dam? assuming I can find one for less than the like $400 retail...

The bottom piece on this bumper. (I don't know who's car this is.) Compare it to the O.P.'s picture and you'll see it.
