I'll be throwing these pics on the site soon as well as the actual product so people can start ordering!
Yes, I used the normal ones. I really don't think that the slits would help too much if heat ever becomes an issue with these.

I'm gonna put my final word in here and just say that I highly recommend these for anyone that have OEM or aftermarket fogs that they would like to protect from rock chips/cracks....or if you just want that "JDM yellow" look. I've tried Lamin-x and this is a superior product (and cheaper too). I know that the OEM fogs are very prone to cracking from being pelted with road debris/gravel/etc., so please use some kind of vinyl overlay as a safeguard, whether it be Lamin-x or this. Trust me, I have a friend that had OEM fogs installed and within two weeks it looked like someone went after them with a baseball bat.

Pete, you may want to offer these in a clear color film for those that might just want the protection and not the yellow look. Just food for thought.

Thanks again everyone.

we now have Ice Blue Transparent and Smoke Gray transparent. The website has been updated to reflect these new options.

I'll try to get some pics up by end of next week, i have no donor cars available to test on!

From your pictures you showed the light output, did you use HID bulbs? or the oem ones that comes with the fog light

Will post pics in a few mins.
so any updates yet? any burns? bubbles?

here is the light smoke overlays... i know a lot of you guys have been waiting!! It's a very nice, classy, subtle touch...reminds me of the light smoke on a new BMW M5, perfect IMO.







this color can be chosen for fog light overlays as well!
