Congrats and welcome. Car looks good. Always loved the blackout look. As for green fogs, whatever floats your boat.

Hey Justin my friend saw you at an mfest meet and loved your HRE rims! he took a picture and told me i should get your hood hahaha.

Welcome Dimi,
LCI tails are the tailights that have the fiber optic cables that are illumintated when the parking/headlights are on. they look like lines going horizontally across the tailights. They were installed on 2008 and up 5s. its a very nice look. You know green will be kinda hard find green hornet. nah nah im kidding. if you want the appeal of green, my fogs are 8000kelvins bright and in pictures they look green, however i got 8k to match my angels which are 8k hid angel eyes as well. for your model a pre-lci the only option available to you is the led angel eyes of which your kinda stuck at 6k. they look good at night if you decide to run the fogs and angel eyes look. you can check out Umnitza or John at motorcepts for modifications like that. Happy modding man.

worse come to worse get a light green film and put it over the lens of your foglights. but u should make the fogs hids so you wont sacrifice so much light output.
