Personally, I'm not feeling the potential look. Might I inquire why you're considering this? Why not just adapt some OEM facelift fogs like most people do? Get the new lower grille inserts with the holes for the fogs, get the fogs, and wire them in either with a stand alone switch or find a way to link it to the main headlight wiring harness so that they come on with the OEM fog button?

Gotcha. I'm all for doing something different, just didn't know why you chose the 626 interference type lens fogs. I'd say if you do entertain this idea more, maybe consider trying the fogs off a 2008 MazdaSpeed3 like this



Notice how they're still about the same shape to fit down there but its a clear, non-diffracting lens? It'd make for a much cleaner look imo.

well my car is at my uncle shop getting started for the make over so im going to have my old front bumper as a spare since im putting a body kit on my avant.

so i thought just to make the oem front bumper different looking by fabbing those fogs to fill in those vents and color match the bottom valance. and just switch up time to time.
