A little inspiration from some outside sources
So I got to the point I am when after buying a brand new full Carson kit I feel like it looks great, but is not up to snuff on quality for a $2,000 kit. The rear doesn't fit at all, the front is paper thin, and the sides are excellent. On top of all that you are going to need $400 more for the fog lights, which is ridiculous for fogs. I mean if this were cutting edge technology fogs I'd be all over it, but this is a glass lens and plastic housing design. Not going to do it......
So I went looking for inspiration in all the hardware stores, several craft stores, anywhere that sold something metal with a pattern. Nothing looked like it belonged in the front of my Carson kit and most of it was $20 a foot. By chance I had to go get some charcoal for the grill and lucked into exactly what I wanted for $1.25
From here I am going to take the webbing and mate it with a sheet of ABS plastic, then cut out the fog holes and drop them in.

Many thanks.
These are the fogs I chose based on aesthetics. They will be wired to the factory setup like they are supposed to work.
My headlights are blacked out with chrome trim so they look smoked.
