Hmmm.... where did you ever come up with this idea? I'm curious...

Also, where did you get the single fog light (usually they come in pairs),
and the IR lens?

This sounds like a pretty neat setup....certainly something I may
consider..... however, I am still partial to the CB. I get notified 3-4
miles or so ahead of time. This gives me plenty of time to move over, slow
down, and let some other non-CB speed freak get the ticket (like last week,
on the NJ turnpike!!).

Cool. Can you say "Stealth Bomber"?

Hmm....perhaps we CAN get Audi to put in these special fog lights as OE...
AofA, are you listening?

And that's when you said "Okay, you got me. I special ordered this paint
from the factory. It took an extra month for me to get this car... but
see... it was worth it. It works!!"

He couldn't wait to tell the guys back at the barracks!! "You'll never
believe what Audi is doing....."
