....my front bumper has a lip right under the foglight & I thought about adding a led/drl, but didn't want the bumper to look cluttered

A vertical DRL here might be good

I wonder if you could take something like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/2003-Lexus-S...tYgoTQ&vxp=mtr
Add this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lexus-SC430-...hYx~yv&vxp=mtr
and this http://www.ebay.com/itm/01-10-Lexus-...JXCbHd&vxp=mtr
and end up with something

I have 2002 / 62 k miles in good condition, planning soon to sell. Will this body kit enhance the value of my car?

I doubt it. Personally I would be less inclined to buy, original is the best as it apiels to the largest market of buyers.

Mash ups are no easy task. I strongly suggest rendering it first and make sure it's something you want to tackle. Benz bumper covers aren't that cheap either. The ones that have been done are great but not all ideas turn out with that same result.

Looks real good!
Just my opinion, can you fit the fog lights a bit further inside the bumper?

The wiper washer reservoir is directly behind the drivers side fog light. I wanted themto go back a little further, I might try to heat and mold the the reservoir just enough to give me that extra inch of clearance.
