Do you think that this would be overkill at 40mils thick for foglight protection???

There is no such thing as overkill on fog light protection. If this works then it will be the first that has. I have thick 3M fog protection (32mils?)on mine and one has been busted since.

Why not just get the plastic lenses like the 2k-2k1's have?

I believe the plastic lens housings used in the 00-01 are smaller than those used in the 02-03.

It seems a bit pricey doesn't it for some clear plastic?

I have 40 mils on my headlights and foglights. No discolor and most people don't even see it. So far so good - been on for 2 1/2 years.
