Default TYC fogs anyone????

I need to replace my fogs they are all pitted and ugly looking so I was browsing Ebay for a new oem pair or a used ones in VGC when I ran into TYC fogs for our cars.

TYC makes decent tail lights thefogs dont look that bad, anyone with these on their car??

Its probably cheaper and better to just bring them to a detailer and have them buff it and protect it with opticoat instead of getting aftermarket replacements

Default Pitts

I do have some buffing stuff laying around but the rock chips are deep and I am afraid just buffing wont do it. I am picky too that does not helps although I know my IS has high miles and that is part of the usage. Gonna keep my eyes open for a good used pair I am sure someone will sell a good pair. Are they all the same 06 to 2012??

a few members have upgraded to the 11-12 front bumper so you may be able to find someone selling their old fog lights for cheap
