How much are you paying in import fees and taxes? The cost of importing a car to the UK is pretty steep.

Also, you're going to have to do some custom work to get the required red rear foglights. None of the tC's lights come with anything like this.

The Air Force will ship the car for me and I'm exempt from any taxes on the car.

The TYC's have seperated break lights and turn signals, so do the stock 05-07 tails. Does the foglight have to be in the tail, or can it be serpearate? You can buy an EDM fog light and install it on your bumper.
Kind of like this http://yhst-1408381693991.stores.yah...refogliki.html

This idea just popped in my head but maybe you can attach it under the back garnish instead of cutting out a hole in the bumper and risking fudging it up.....

not EXACTLY sure how you could do this....but. can you maybe retro the reverse lights from something like a honda accord into the same spot on the tc? maybe make some kind of custom mold around them and attach it then and run the wires up where the plate light openings are?

im talking about these lights...



i dunno...just a suggestion.

or do they have to be on the bumper?

OR....you can jujst get that nia lip kit. didnt they have openings for rear fogs??
