Yea I wonder what the header looks like underneath though, could try refinishing the heat shield with some heat resistant paint.

Heat from a blow dryer or heat gun then use fishing line.

You don't need to change bumpers to got fogs just a lower fog grille and the fogs. You can buy a complete new kit for around $85 bucks on ebay.
