You're entitled to your opinion. For me a fog light is a fog light. There are good ones and bad ones. Some after market ones are better than OEM and some are crap. One thing you're gonna learn when it comes to custom work is that there's going to be a lot of trial and error. Something you just won't know till you try, so good luck with that.
Uh... I'm gonna take a wild guess, but judging from the license plate that say Artisan Spirits. I'm gonna guess Artisan Spirits

Alright guys, its been a while since I've done any updates since I storage my car for the winter season. And as per every winter I always like to get a few goodies during the downtime (makes it feel like a new experience each time I take it back out 
So I've never really showcased my trunk as there was nothing really to show off besides a fat back tank with some messy brass plumbing. So I switched from a 5gal fat black tank to a long skinny chrome 5gal. I also switched my brass plumbing to a Accuair VU4 as its way more compact and cleaner.
When I took my car out of storage I came a across a small little issue. My compressors couldn't pump air into my tank. It was either a leak somewhere between the compressor and or the motor was shot. I could hear the motor running but even after waiting 10 mins it wouldn't raise the pressure by even 1 PSI. Turns out the check valves were f****d. So I ended up upgrading my old Viair 450C to the 444C with some SMC check valves.
Since I'm already dressing up the trunk a bit, I figured I might as well step it up a notch. Ever since I upgraded my head unit to the AVIC-X930BT I've been without the factory sub. And I don't have to explain how much that sucked! My buddy over at Dose Audio helped install a custom trunk enclosure for me. It looks rough right now but far from finished! Just wait
Also working on a concept for custom illuminated door sills. This is just a prototype, but will be pretty similar when complete.
I've also sent out my carbon panels to have redone by FX Auto. I wasn't happy with what my local guy who originally did them. But I heard good things with FX so I gave them a shot. So far the center console and ashtray are done. Just waiting on my door panels. So far looking good.

Thanks guys. I think I'm almost done with the build. There's a few things here and there I wanna get. But hopefully This year it will be finally complete.
Recently went on a shoot this past weekend for NWMotiv with Josh Mackey. Here's a couple shots for the up coming feature.
