Help! How to cover fog light gap?

Happy New Year!

I have a 2000 TL. I installed a pair of small blue round fog light over the Christmas break. I took the bumper apart, cut the hole where the fog lights are suppose to go (below the headlights) for the lights but I cut it too big. Now I want to cover it. Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

you might want to put the fog in the center of the hole and have the mess cover the rest of the hole.

Maybe you could cut the whole plastic, put mesh, and cut the mesh the size of the foglight


oh btw nice car but you need a drop!

Does anyone have picture?

Yeah, I am thinking of getting H&R OE springs but expecting my first baby and the wife maybe driving my car. Like most girls I know, she can't drive lowered car.

the h&r oe's would be the perfect drop for ur car and it will be very small... so u probably wont be able to tell its lowered from the inside and from the outside it'll look jsut irght.

My back driver side fender rubs. Will the springs helps? I did a search and some ppl cut the fender but I prefer not to. I hope the H&R OE springs are stuff enough so it will not rub. It is bugging the hell out of me. I got the wheels when I got my car with BF tires, no rubbing, then I got Kumos and it starts rubbing. I thought all same size tires are the same but found out some are a little wider than others. Too late now. Thanks

What's your rim offset? What size tire??

I have H&R OE spring & doesn't rub with 19X8 rims.


About the fog gap space, use some black seam sealer around it. That's what I did on mine.

Songoku - How much and where did you get the springs for? Also, where can I get black seam sealer? I'm not sure what the offset is. The wheels are niche bella and the tires are Kumo 225/40ZR18. I'm also in OC, CA.
