Fuji,
I think you may be thinking of someone else. I do have alot of tattoos but it was too damn cold that night and I don't think I took my coat off! I had the only RS2 there - and I took 1st place that night in the xB category. If you don't remember, no biggie! Maybe next time. I do plan on coming down there a lot more this summer.

Okay I'm thinking about modifying the existing blank fog ohle covers by using a table saw to horizontally cut two lines in the blanks equally spaced from each other and from top and bottom. Each cut would start one and one/half inch from either side. The cuts by a table saw are one-eighth wide. What do you think? Doable? A good idea?

Using a hole saw I drilled a hole in the center at both ends and used a dremel to cut out the middle section, leaving a long oval hole in it.
Using that hole as a template, I cut out a piece of plastic home gutter cover that fits the hole perfectly and used a hot glue gun to attach it after I painted it black.
I then took a sheet of real carbon fiber and cut a similar, but slightly smaller, oval hole and attached it to the front with 3M double face tape.
You can stop there if you want and it will look fine, but I went a little further and fabricated the inside of the "scoop" out of a sheet of textured black ABS plastic. It help hide the inside of the fog light area and makes it look more finished when installed.
I also made one for the other side that has no hole - just carbon fiber. Makes them stand out a little better when both sides matched.
I also mounted purple LEDs inside the scoop hole. The whole thing glows purple at night.
Total for the entire project was about $80 for both sides using new fog light covers. I wanted to keep my original yellow ones in case I wanted to go back to stock down the road sometime and you cant get pre-painted yellow ones from the dealer.
