Anyone else remove their fogs?

I'm debating whether I like this look or not on the RAs. I love how Evo X's look with the ducts



but since there's no mod for the RAs to do the same, I can't tell if I like the look of them just removed. WORKS has removed them for their Ralliart, and the stock bumper does have a few curves to give a "duct" like look...



And yes I've seen the FLD project thread, but there hasn't been an update in a while, so not holding my breath

As soon as there is foglight delete specifically for the RA, will remove them straight away - still waiting though

is the duct on the evo that much different then a ralliart?

i'm on the fence with going fog less as well, or probably getting some sort of after market solution when my foglight housings break again... $300 per housing is bull****

the Evo ducts seem more square than RA's, and they're probably wider since the whole bumper is wider

but the shape of the bumper on the RA seems to already give a duct-like form. Yesterday, I noticed how much the fogs stick out if you look at our cars directly from the side. I'm probably going to remove them and see how I like it from there

let us know how it goes!

anyway I had the bumper off installing the FMIC+UICP. Was sad to find out that there's still a sort of fog-light housing that's part of the bumper. So you can't just remove the fogs and have the duct look, there will still be a hole where the fog light was. I'm guessing WORKS sawed it off, but I didn't feel like doing that on the whim - so just reinstalled the fogs for now.

The duct on the evos waaaay up there is for cooling...not really looks...but what will happen if u delete ur fogs and then run into fog...how will u see the road lol

I prefer the grey evo ducts looks like they add some CF or something to it.

Just had a stone take out one of my fog lights, and have no intention to replace them. A nice delete kit would be....nice.

I'm starting to hate the look of the round fogs more and more. Doesn't really match the angular and aggressive lines/styling

I'm debating just biting the bullet and taking them out, sawing the housing off the bumper, and if I really wanted fogs, install some nicer looking LEDs (like the new Mercedes/porsches) which still won't block as much airflow as the factory fog lights

and living down in Houston, I've never found a need for my fog lights. I'm starting to drive with them off and I can't tell a big difference in lighting

The only reason people are considering removing them is to increase airflow to the SST cooler so everything runs nice and cool
