They are for pre-facelift cars...no fog lights.

I just dropped mine off today to have the lower's painted. I even got a wild hair up my @$$ and told 'em to shoot the roof black. $1,300 when it's all said and done.

Do you really? Because my passenger side one fell out and I haven't bothered buying a new one yet because I'm planning on getting facelift fogs and grills... some day. PM me!

To the OP, lowers look good! I want to do mine; maybe once the air dries up a bit in a couple months I'll tackle it.

Onepoint8tee's got dibs, but if he works something else out, I'll PM you. I'm not trying to sell them, just get rid of them for the cost of shipping.

geez. haven't been on in awhile with school and all.
I used ULTRA silver from duplicolor. That may be why the color is a smidge off.
I thought i did a good job for my first can job.
and to answer someone's ? i left my rear valence on because it was riveted on by the previous owner and i didnt have any replacement rivets. was really easy leaving it on though! the front i took off *for sanding purposes*
Thanks for all the positive feedback guys!!!

Ha yeah so last night me and few friends went to the lake to have few beers at night and i was driving my audi. It was dark and i couldnt see the bump on the road BOOM BOOM BOOM my bottom lip fell off and now sitting in the back of my car. thank god it didnt rip the bumper off too. So i guess it gives me another reason to paint it now that its off the car haha. By the way how hard is it to put them back on? I havent looked at it yet because it was dark out and today im at work so havent had a chance.

getting the front on is easy as pie. it pretty much just pops in with clips. just line it up and give it a little oomph and it'll snap in. atleast, thats what worked for me.
