I have also been looking for yellow fog lights...not just the bulbs but the glass as well...any vendors here that sell them, or can anybody recommend any?
Kinda like the bottoms ones on this 3 ..

Yeah, been looking at yellow tint, but it is hard to get it nicely around the rounded lights, without wrinkles...Still hoping to find yellow lenses..

Yup, still on stock shock's...ride is still smooth...had three guys with me, while doing the rolling shots, and all bumps can be taken with normal speed..no rubbing or scraping..even with the 20"s...

Hey, very nice springs! Just keep in mind that since you did NOT replace the shocks/struts you will have worn out shocks in 6 months tops. Then you'll be bouncing around like a ping pong on dips and bumps because your shocks are not designed to be compressed at that height. I'd get the Koni yellow sports. They are about $750.

Never understood the argument against using oem shocks. Ive always found them to be 100% with lowering springs. Shocks can work between fully open and fully closed. with lowering springs they will not open as much but being stiffer they wont compress as much either so in theory it kind of evens out.
Just my 2c but Ive seen it mentioned a lot here.
Car looks fantastic on the 20s, and now at a perfect height too!!
