I don't have any grills for the fog lights and was wondering if there's any real reason for the grills anyway? Do they supply critical air to anything? I am thinking of maybe not running fog lights at all and just closing those huge openings up with dark (blacked out) tinted Lexan inserts, since I have early style black bumpers (fiberglass). I could even maybe do cutouts, perfect sized cutouts for the foglights also - but would that look dumb you think? I think the closed-up openings would give a much cleaner and minimual look.. has anyone done something similar?

The horns also sit back there, so it will muffle those if you close them off all the way. I just added some of the pilot lights to my car, but don't feel like buying some overprices fog light grills, so I am probably going to make some custom covers out of alum sheet...I thought about doing that with some smaller/differnt fogs, but the pilots were too good of a price.
I say go for it...I have seen one car with clear lexan and big square fogs, and didn't like the look much, smoked would look much better. Yours, Tony |
