Yes, but unfortunately the higher ups decided it was too functional by about 3in too low, so I spent all of 38cents for washers for a temporary across the top grill mounting solution. I'm still trying to decide if I want to re-engineer the current mount, pick up OutMotoring brackets (if they ever return to stock, and the ALTA solution is too low to be legal) or come up with a different solution all together.

So the current setup is:

(Sorry for the dirty car photo)

The fogs and the headlights and high beams are all yellow, so when they were low I pwned fog and the greater contrast also helps me spot animals long before their heads pop up and show their eyes.

Yeah my cop brother in law saw mine for the first time yesterday. Turned them on in the dark garage and he said "oh those aren't too bright, they are too low though."

Didn't want to point out the factory fogs on a Subaru WRX are at the same height as mine and only a little smaller.

I attended a car show last weekend. How cool would it be to have this painted on a MINI Roof?

Yeah, but with a rabid frothing bull dog rather than an eagle.

Saw an unusual hawk this morning and snapped a couple shots:

did some checking and think it may be an Illinois Swainson's Hawk but am not sure. I have sent the image to some experts for verification.

I really like your use of flash. What setup did you use?

Hope you wind up in a MINI soon.
