If you buy the complete kit, the foglights come with it. I've been trying to sell my stock parts but not much luck. I don't think I'm really trying that hard though.

How much did it cost for the installation and how long did it take?
Did you ordered it finished or was it painted in jmk's shop?
and is there a gap issue as previously discussed.

Hi Ray,
It was $1200 for paint and install -- they did it all, I just delivered the kit to them. There's no gap issue but they did have to trim down the fender liners to fit the bumpers on which was OK.
A bunch of pictures are in my original thread here:

I'm curious which body shop you are using. I am considering getting a M kit as well and am looking for someone in the L.A. area who can do it well, but not charge an arm and a leg.

It looks sooo good in person. They did a great job. I will post pics soon as I get a chance.
