FR-S Fog lights

Hi, I was wondering is it even possible to get the fog lights similar to the Audi S5?

I like those lines on the bottom of the Audi S5, and think it would look great on my ultramarine FR-S.

Just wondering.

I emailed Scion asking them when the oem fogs would be available and the rep responded that they had no current plans to offer the oem fogs here on the FRS?! I hope he doesn't know what he's talking about...
