Removed Fog Lights

Ordered these from japanparts.com with no problems. Installed using the tutorial on how to install FMIC, thanks for writing that. It made this very easy and I was done in about a 1.5 hours. Parts match the mesh in the grille and looks 100% stock.

I initally just wanted to open up the vent for the transmission cooler but I believe I like the look without the fog lights more now!

As an update, in this form I had no transmission problems with overheating on the MSR 1.3 in super sport mode. (SSP larger pan + AMS Trans cooler + fog light delete)

Looks good! I personally would find it hard to get rid of my foglights - I'm torn between the foglight look and the without look :/

not a fan i think the fogs look better. The wife said the car looks better while driving at night when the headlights and fogs are on. You should get the AMS brake cooling kit and put that in replace of the fogs. That would look bada$$

I really like that idea however, I partly did this to help transmission cooling and i don't want to block it back up. More track time will require brake ducting. I do think it looks nice and clean. Maybe the oem aero kit would help too.

It just falls off. You know.. "If you don't use it, you lose it."
