That was actually the reason I stopped at the shop on Saturday. They wanted to know what to do with the foglights. I had them place them in the middle cut out of the bumper. You will not even see them unless they are on because the black screen will be in front of the fog lights. The shop needs to glass tabs onto the bumber so they have something to ancor the fog lights to. I didn't want to interfere with the oil coolers.

Time will tell. I am not purchasing anything until I get the car back and see what it looks like. I may go with sideskirts, I may go with aeroflares, or I may leave the car as is. Honestly, I spoke with the shop owner this past Saturday and the general consensus at his shop was to leave the sides as is. The shop owner said the front bumper of the car flows well into the sides and rear of the car as is. This guy works on cars day in and day out so I value his opininion. He has a 1951 Porsche speedster that is in his shop being customized as we speak. Most parts this guy fabricated himself. Honesty this guy is an artist as far as I'm concerned. As a side note the other consensus at his shop was to remove the eyelids. This I am not sure about either.

You can actually see the Porsche to the left of my car in the new pic I posted. I would love to have that car. Its street value is estimated at over $200,000. It has a Louis Vuitton interior. Simply beautiful car.

Well I got the car back. The shop did a bang up job at matching the paint. It honestly looks factory. It does suck living in NJ and being forced to mount a front license plate. But thats out of my control. It looks good regardless. What do you all think?

I did keep my foglights. The shop mounted the factory foglights to the cross member support which runs hoizonally behing the bumper. You can't see them in the pics I have posted. Its really hard to see them unless they are on. They are directly to the right and left of my crappy NJ license plate. Looks bad *** at night.
