Yeah, I cut two holes in the bumper where the fog lights are supposed to be. It was really easy---used a pocket knife! I then took some black molding that came on my doors to prevent dinging someone else's car, and wrapped it around the cut to give it a clean look. Then, I put wire mesh behind the holes. Looks really good, and custom.

That is the closest pic that I have in my sig. You can look closely and even see how I put my aftermarket fog lights behind the mesh screens. Also, cannot take any more pics of my car, cuz it is back at home.

The light from the fogs shines right through the mesh with no problem. Only when you pull up to a wall or garage door, you can see the pattern of the mesh illuminated through. Looks pretty cool.

What is wire mesh?

What is wire mesh? Also, anyone have any other ideas about what to put in the holes after you cut them out? I was thinking some kind of black rubber would look cool, but i dunno.

Okay, wire mesh is basically like chicken wire, but the diamonds that make it up are a lot smaller. Not sure if that is clear enough, but I dont know how else to describe it. I got the stuff at Home Depot, and it is surprisingly cheap. It was $3 for 8 feet by 3 ft. I put the mesh behind the bumper and mounted it using a washer, then a really short screw. Just screwed the mesh into the bumper. If your screws are too long, then it will go through the bumper and you will then have a problem. I am sure there is some other way of mounting it into position, but not too sure. Good luck
