Got around to painting fog covers

I saw that person again in SJ who has the painted fog covers and I knew I was heading up north for the holiday and I would be using my fogs (normally have the STI covers on), so I painted my originals. The shop kind of messed them up when they repainted my bumper (was free, so didn't complain) so I partially masked them for a different look:
