It's not the same colour. ASM is a little lighter... but since they are fog bezels, the colour doesn't have to match perfectly anyways.. it's not really noticable anyways.

Hey man how do you think they will holdup. Thats a nice price do you think having fogs on long will cause them to shatter?

I got a bad crack and need to look for new ones other than oem... 109 for a single replacement

Yeah... I got the same questions too Vortec. I'm now on my FOURTH cracked headlight housing. You'd think friggin' Acura would've made these suckas more durable. Each time, I had to dish out $99 + shipping to buy the ENTIRE housing. You can't just get a replacement lens. What a rip!

Crazy... let me know if you find something too. This is getting ridiculous...

Btw... looks good I think I may have a slight preference for the original black for contrast, but it looks professionally done.

for everyone who is concerned with the weak fog lights, ive seen a DIY on the rsx forums and some guy replaces the oem lenses with some really durable plastic, he trys to break it and bend it with everything from a bb gun to a samurai sword!? also this mod was really cheap, think like ~40$
