My alternative to rear fog lights

Here in so cal we don't get much fog so I did not order my mini with rear fog lights. After reading how some converted there's to brake lights or added fogs it got me thinking, since I took the emblem off the back how about something different on the back so I made these to take the place of the inserts that pluged the holes for the fogs. They are made out of alum and engraved. What do you think?

They would be $75.00 a set, they would be raw no polish or powder coat and since I would have to make them on the weekend I can't make many at a time. If interested pm me.
