But what it lacks is the menace, the anger, and pure unadultered distillation of evil that can only come from a jet black C63.

I just ran into a roadblock in NVan. Cop tells me "I know it looks cool, but having your fog lights on when there is no fog is a ticket able offense". I had no idea you could get a ticket for having them on, then again, I have been questioned for my stock tint and have been asked to have it removed. Is there any truth to this?
He was so preoccupied with my fogs he never questioned my lack of a front plate. Phew!

In BC you can run your fog lights at any time, you just cannot run them instead of headlights unless "atmospheric conditions make the use of headlights disadvantageous.
Fog lights may be operated at any time, but when they are on, park, tail, license and clearance lamps (if any) must be lit also. Fog lights may be used in place of headlamps when atmospheric conditions make the use of headlights disadvantageous. That might not be during night, but is most likely.
Fog lamps
4.11 (1) A motor vehicle may be equipped with 2 fog lamps, mounted on the front of the vehicle below the headlamps, that are capable of displaying only white or amber light.
(2) Each fog lamp must be
(a) mounted not more than 30 cm below the headlamps, and
(b) adjusted and aimed so that, at a distance of 8 m from the lamp, the centre of the beam is at least 10 cm below the height of the fog lamp.
(3) The fog lamp wiring and switch must permit simultaneous operation of the parking lamps, tail lamps, licence plate lamp and, if required, clearance lamps.
(4) The operator of a vehicle may use fog lamps instead of headlamps when atmospheric conditions make the use of headlamps disadvantageous.

Thanks for the info Prab.
I was almost certain it wasnt an offense but I didn't want to say much and push my luck since he didn't point out the plate.
