Thanks much! Contemplating doing the project that a few accomplished (yourself included) w/ the colored bi-x shroud, but not 100% on it yet, just cuz the chrome kinda off-sets all the other color matched things I have going. We'll see what happens and IF I decide to stick with the budget I've alloted for myself.

I'd get out of the way if I saw any car with quadruple fog-lamps in my rear view mirror.
