What I might be interested in are non-operating fog lights that actually have clear lenses like the OEMs. Anybody hear of that?

How about some fake rim stickers to go over the hubcaps?
Those would be fresher than those neato spinner hubcaps.

They aren't finished on the inside like most (all) foglights. Instead of a shiny surface, they are just a dull potmetal just like the outside of the housings. It gives a half-lit look to it instead of a shining light. Just look at Scion's own pic of them:

http://scion.com/drive/accessories/x...ery/index.html

Go to that page and click on the Fog Lights in Exterior Accesories...
Actually they ARE silvered on the inside but only where the bulb is, check it out sometime!

Man, I wish people would learn to correct the exposure and color balance of their photos.

But about the stickers, come on, admit it -- if they were some kind of scarce JDM item all y'all would be trying to score some.

i'd like to see pictures when someone here has them "installed". The stickers don't look too bad in the auction pics, but those are from a distance. Not a bad idea and certainly not a lot of money to lose by taking a shot at them.

ummm, whats so stupid about? if you dont like it then dont buy it ... simple as that :-)

i am SURE if i was to post simple pic without saying that they are fake you wouldnt know! how can you say such a "stupid" thing without even looking at to closer! that picture is so far away that you cant even see details silly!
I agree I think it looks real. I would never be able to tell unless someone told me or I was standing next to it.

But dude, if the xB in your avatar is yours, you've made a major mistake. Didn't you know having the hood open on the passenger side means you're straight, but having it open on the driver's side means you're ___?
