Would my car look crapy without fog lights?
I cut the plastic behind the fog light so the intercooler can still get cold air, is it worth it to take out the entire thing?
 
I would if I was racing most of the time, but if you do a lot of night driving keep 'em, they serve a better purpose installed.

its not a world of a difference when you take them off regarding more air flow and cooler air charges, but then again every little thing helps when it comes to performance.
 
you have to take your head lights off to get the fog lights off kind of a pain but dont ake to long just dont bust any of the bolts hehe. BTW how did u get ur head lights so clear my are so clouded and it looks like crap but new ones are 2 much money. :laser:
 
It's my contention that at anything over twenty miles an hour, you'll get more air coming around the foglight than the intercooler will be able to pass through its fins.

I don't have any proof.

If anyone has proof that the foglight's small amount of area matters, I'd be keen to hear it.

I prefer having as much light coming out of the front of a car as I can possibly get, but I've hit deer before. It may have affected my outlook (so-to-speak).

And damn, that's a clean-looking car.
 
Did you hit a deer with your dsm?


Clear headlights.

1.wet sand them with very fine sand paper.
2.wet sand them with the finest sand paper you can find.
3.buff them with a scratch remover wax
4.Buff them with a good polish
 
If you are worried about performance that much, get a FMIC that will let you keep the foglights, and enjoy much better cooling.
