Cool Dante, I figured it'd be ok...I did the same to the Eclipse, but those were clear & I didn't spray it completely black...thanks for the good looks also.

So...HOW DO I GET THEM OFF!

What do you think?
It'd be the first one in Trinidad to have them on. (on the bumpers I mean)
Azir,

Ok, now all I would need is a set of those bumper markers...don't think they have them here in Trinidad and maybe a pair or sockets to hold the bulbs and I'd also need to know where to put them, so that I put them in the correct place on the bumper.

Ah yes...BUT, i want to be 1-off, can't be 1-off because alot of ppl either already have the bluebatmobile covers or got the CATZ lamps...I have yet to see a set of fogs w/the housings painted to match HL's...

Hey Phil, I could take those measurements now so I can keep them because I know I might forget about those things when I'm ready.

So I'm ready when you are...

Phil, you can't paint the housings genious. Think about it, with the headlights you pull the outer, useless shiny part off and paint it, but leave the main reflective surface along. With the foglights, the entire interior surface is the main reflective surface, so if you painted it, you would get no light production from them. Just tint them, that's what I'm planning on doing.
