On another note, wouldn't it be a pretty easy DIY mod to chop mesh to make room for the bar LED? We just have to put up w a big hole in the place of the fog light
I'm down for a group buy for the E55 fogs if anyone makes em!

MJ, if I fly out to LA and visit Eric, you think I could get a ride, maybe even drive this around the block? I really want to do this, but with the amount of labor involved to do it correctly I want to make sure I don't have any second thoughts
