Not worth it for the LED fog conversion.
But the Mugen HID Projector fogs sure do look nice!!! Been dying for a projector Fog retrofit myself.
Too bad you need a JDM Front conversion to make those work.
Between the Mugen & Bless, I like the Mugen grill you (ryu) posted with the Bless lower lip. Don't really like the Bless grill it looks too much like the Noblesse VIP (GE8) grill (which I actually do like).

actually, the LED and the HIDs look very similar, and u can find a separate fog assembly for the fit shuttle for the circular fog shape to mount them on. but still, its still too expensive. i'm not down to spend the same amount of money for replacements when they break, and for super subtle upgrades only JDM-addicts will notice.
The Bless grill is more subtle i think and it has less resistance for the MPGers (i think), the mugen grill has a bigger opening underneath to let air through. If i go do the Modulo front bumper caps route with the Modulo front garnish I already have, I might go with the Bless grill instead.
Finished installing the Modulo front garnish. Will take pics when I go back down and smoke.

ok here are pics. not making a DIY since its pretty straightforward as far as the install goes. just tape, drill 4 holes and 4 bumper clips. i emailed the vendor for install instructions, but they misunderstood me and sent me instructions for a different part. i guess its my fault. i should have indicated the part number too.

looks good man. i thought about ordering some stuff from overseas using tenso, and i even went as far as making an account, but i'm way too nervous about doing it that way. plus the shipping still came out to about the cost of what i was wanting to order.

Pics of the Modulo Fit Ring and the Red 3D CF Rear Honda Emblem insert. The adhesive on the ring is A+, I couldn't peel it back without damaging the rings. The CF is mostly on now after a lot of blow drying. It's still sticking out a little in the corner.

I have also checked out yahoo japan auctions which is supposed to be the Auction website of Japan. Selection is pretty much the same as on Rakuten, and its pretty much the same vendors also.
The downside is that if you want to bid/purchase over 5000 Yen, you will have to pay an annual membership fee. To get past this, you can use other "bidding" or "purchasing" websites, such as Tenso, to buy the item for you.
Rakuten is simpler to make a purchase. Same vendors, less process bullshit. It's already hard enough to try to understand whats lost in translation on one website, let alone, two or more.

I use to go on Yahoo Japan auctions but you needed a translating program which was always tough to use. On top of that trying to buy and purchase was another problem. With this site now I can at least search for my Fit and Miata in english.
