Put some foglights, either clear or yellow. That would look very nice
thanks everyone ,


And as for the fog lights im not a fan of them i'm really not a fan of lips neither to many people have the same exact look or try to be like the next guy no diss intended. The only lip i will stick on my car is the eg6 mugen lip "REAL" one that is it but for now im sticking with oem exterior , my main goal is to add little detail work to the interior and continue my engine build up .

and again thanks for compliments =)
