He painted the glare shields and the HID's got so hot it made the paint create a fog which in turn burned onto the lens. He's getting new ones soon.

Yeah, but I'm so effing hard headed...I thought I could make it better. Should have known the paint would fog up the lens. New one on the way.

Thanks for all the comments, my friends.

Well, I do love the look, but after the work Wacker put into the accord fogs, I felt it would be blasphemy.

J, Do you have the RDX caliper covers? I was looking back trying to find where you did them and couldn't find the post. Looks great!

Yes sir, Matt...probably about 3 or 4 months ago, SickTLS was nice enough to hook a brotha up for shipping and I sanded and painted them the same teal as the brembo.

So what you are saying is that it's gonna be super awkward between J and his fog lights?

Getting redone right this time...

J: I for one really love the accord fog light look. The ovalish shape and grill I think looks really nice and OEM! The Inspyre fogs are interesting and the shape intuitively looks like it should go well with the car, but when done on a car IMO looks really awkward. Keep the accord fogs!

Wacker, I might have to hit you up as well!

Nope, not at all. I hope he can sell them and make a killing off of them.

Well, I knew Johnny wouldn't mind one way or the other...his proudest work is still safely inside my car and on the grill. I will say that over the last month, no rock chips! The guy does some awesome work.

About the fogs, honestly, having had them in front of me, both...and having installed both, the inspyres are gorgeous and fit the shape of the line up front. I love the accords too, especially with the painted bezel etc...hmmm...decisions decisions.
