Fogs/mesh in lower Stock Bumper 04-06 *Lots A pics*

I had been getting some questions about what I had done to my bumper so I thought I would share in the experience.

Here are the supplies I used for the fogs.
1.07-08 Max fog light covers. $8 each
2. 3" to 2" rubber coupler from plumbing section $7 each
3. Auto door trim molding. $3 (not pictured yet)
4. Pair of Fogs from Checkers auto $32.
5. Demel (already purchased)
6. Mesh (left over from Grill mod)(not pictured yet)

BEAUTIFUL!!! Its basically what I want to do to the rear (mesh opening) except I have to make the cut out by hand. Ill check out Autozone for the door edge guard material to cover the edge after I make the cut out. In my online research I found someone else had done this too. Can you get some day time pics with the sun shining on the grill so its more visible. How much did the project cost?

I had spare mesh from doing my grill, an 18x42" powder coated gloss black piece cost about $70. The other items for the bumper was just over $60.
I tried looking for the trim product on autozone's website and couldn't find it.
I have some left in the garage, I'll see if they have a website.

It's kinda a u shape, they also carry an L shaped one I bought by accident.
There are 2 pieces per package 27" long each. It also has its own adhesive inside the U so you shouldn't need any type of glue for it.

Thanks for the comments guys.

The corner lights are as useful as curb feelers. Thats why I had to darken them out w/ bluebats overlays.

Id like to see some GOOD daytime pics where you can see the mesh better. I know black cars are hard to photograph, but I wait til sun is lower in horizon and have it shining on the front.
