Nice looking car! Which HOEN's are the fog lights? The Xenonmatch or Xenonmatch Plus? Because it looks really good!

Those would be xenonmatch, per my suggestion to Dan. Blinkme...trust me, just buy them already.
Just wondering if they were the same non plus ones, because that looks REALLY bright!

Nice, but I did the quite opposite thing on mine, I blacked-out the red portion but I left the turning and reverse lights clear.
I think that it offers a more classy looking, on my black beauty.
I isolated the clear parts and painted the red part with dark clearcoat (2-3 layers) and after that, de-isolated and painted blacked and clear all together (with standard clearcoat, thus there is not any visible painting edge at the end of the blacked-out (red portion) painting.
It has got a glossy "mirror like" finish now, just like car's body painting.
