MS Front Bumper w/ stock fog lights?
Does anyone have any pics of their 8 with the ms front bumper and stock fog lights. Bought my 8 last week and the dealer ordered the ms kit. The kit is in now and I was wondering if I should leave the fog lights off, if it messes with appearance. I am taking the car in for service tue. so I would like to know by then. Thank you.

There are PLENTY of pics. Just do a quick search. I will help out and tell you that if you do want to continue to use the foglights, you'll need to buy the MS foglight brackets.

I have the fogs w/ my MS front and I like it. You will need to purchase the brackets as others have said, if you want to keep them. You will also need to decide if you want them behind the mesh, or if you want to cut out circles for them to poke out [if you keep them] I like them behind the mesh personally.

If you new close-up pics, let me know.
Regarding the appearance issue, it's truly in the eye of the beholder. In San Francisco, there is a lot of fog so it makes it somewhat neccessary for me.
You be the judge.

here's one of mine...this should help you.
Oh, and I did trim the mesh around the foglight...since this was the way the installation guide recommended. I'm glad I did it, but it did add a lot of time to the installation.
