I decided to go for a different color scheme, but I can't decide if the fog deletes look better the way they are or if they would look better paint matched. Can someone pleeease photoshop them to match. TIA!

After (with fog deletes in):

I would do some color on the wheels to make the car stand out more...

If you are going for a "cleaner" look, then color match it with your paint
If you are looking to make them stand out, then leave the yellow fogs

imho, I think that painting the fog light delete covers a totally different color would be a mistake. And leaving them matte black adds too much "clutter" on your front end since you already have the matte black grills, bumper rubbing strip, and lower lip spoiler.

Alternatively, you can switch back to the OE fogs. That way, they match the blinkers and still look clean. Or, you can check out my projector-style fogs. They are more or less, black, but with the reflective glass cover. That way, you get a subtle "stand out" appearance, while keeping a dark/stealth look overall, and retain full functionality of fogs (which we in So Cal never need anyway). Hope that helps!

Thanks for everyone's input! I did too but I got tired of them. At one point I was thinking of getting them tinted.

I had flat black or gunmetal in mind...leaning towards polished lip at the moment either way.

hmm...I might look into the projectors if I decide against the deletes. thanks!

oh, here's another option... hee hee hee :>

Get VF's stage 1 SC and use the opening to bring air directly to the intake filter which is located behind the driver side fog light recess. That way they don't need to cut a hole in the driver side brake air duct to accomplish the same thing.
