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?

Doug I thought about that for a while. If you look at the early 8 cylinder 914s that were built, I think just 2 of them, you will see that they have no opening of any kind in the front bumper where the foglite grilles are located on your front bumper.
If a person wanted to spend the time and money you could recreate this same bumper and either leave them closed or put in a hole for something like the Pilot lites or whatever. And yes you are getting into the rice cooker withe smaller lites. CCLINVEHICLEDEALERAPPLICATION |
