wow merdix thats a beautiful car.

trust me if i had the dough for a roush i would get it but $700+ unpainted is just too much. hey eddieval know where you can get another one for $400?

i really have no desire for the ram air effect i just love the look of those. i figured if i found headlights to go into the fogs position that would make it legal.
theres a guy in dallas that has a fiberglass one for 450 painted whatever color i wanted but id have to pay $850 for some other pieces i didnt want. Ive been calling another seller on one here in houston who has a real roush bumper for $400 but hasnt called back going to try again tho.

not sure about the legality issue...

this is taken from another forum, from illinois:
"625 ILCS 5/Ch. 12 Art. II heading)
ARTICLE II. LIGHTS AND LAMPS
(b) All other motor vehicles shall exhibit at least 2 lighted head lamps, with at least one on each side of the front of the vehicle, which satisfy United States Department of Transportation requirements, showing white lights, including that emitted by high intensity discharge (HID) lamps, or lights of a yellow or amber tint, during the period from sunset to sunrise, at times when rain, snow, fog, or other atmospheric conditions require the use of windshield wipers, and at any other times when, due to insufficient light or unfavorable atmospheric conditions, persons and vehicles on the highway are not clearly discernible at a distance of 1000 feet. Parking lamps may be used in addition to but not in lieu of such head lamps. Every motor vehicle, trailer, or semi‑trailer shall also exhibit at least 2 lighted lamps, commonly known as tail lamps, which shall be mounted on the left rear and right rear of the vehicle so as to throw a red light visible for at least 500 feet in the reverse direction, except that a truck tractor or road tractor manufactured before January 1, 1968 and all motorcycles need be equipped with only one such tail lamp."

looking at the law's language, itstipulates that there betwo working headlamps on either side of the vehicle which produce light according to dot standards, so maybe you're ok if you change out the bulbs to something appropriate. i would check with your local dmv to be safe. then again, i don't think the stock fog lamps can produce that much light...
