Looks great! I'm about to upgrade my headlights and want to do fog lights as well. Mind telling me what you spent at the dealer for the fogs? I'm shopping around online as well.
How do you like the output? I have HIDs in my fog lights and they're too bright so I leave them off lol

The wheels look Sooooo much better
My front bumper also looked really bad
I had it refinished like new and then put 3M film on it - Looks GREAT again
As far as the headlights go, I'm in the minority here, but I actually like the look of the old lights. I had them buffed smooth and also put 3M film on them. I replaced the small bulb with an LED. Just wish I could get an LED for the running lights. Last year I replaced the fogs with the later LED ones as you did.

Old lip will be listed in FS section tonight. Shipping it will not be easy or cheap, so would prefer to sell locally. Listing price will be about 50% off cost of a new one.

Lou, my front bumper looks pretty beat up. Rock chips galore, paint chips, scratches, the whole 9 yards. When you got yours refinished, was there any noticeable imperfections? For example, like pitted spots on top of the new paint? I would think a good body shop could sand the whole bumper down. In order to get rid of all that stuff, prime, paint, and clearcoat. I'm asking because I'm trying to avoid purchasing a new bumper. Mine is not cracked or broken...it just has terrible touch up spots all over😔 Plus all the other things mentioned.
