LED "Off road" lights

The other day, my brother went a little crazy and got an off road skid plate and some LED bars for his STI, they are largely for show, but they do look pretty cool. It got me thinking, about what an FRS would look like with something similar. I was thinking either have a bar just inside the of the grill, or a couple of, for lack of a better term, fog lights.

I know one member has already done this with some fogs behind the grill and i thought it was pretty cool, what does every body think?

Not to mention how awesome the FR-S is on dirt roads... Really nothing more fun than flicking this car on some dirt back roads with a million turns in mountains.

If you need a bar made contact Rally Innovations. I have their skid guard on my Impreza and would love to see what that would look like on an 86.

I definitely want one of these bars behind the grill. I know it's over kill but that looks pretty cool.

I had lights behind my grill before I put in the oil cooler. Got tons of compliments, and I love the extra light when driving the canyons at night. I plan on having a small bull bar made to put either my day lighters or an LED bar on it.

And yes, I rallied it before this picture.
