Looking to see how they would look. Maybe some pics. I dont want to put stock fogs in cause it will block off the air to my oil cooler. Function over form. :lol:

I'm running IPF-968's. As far as aesthetics, they look great. As far as performance, they would be better mounted somewhere else (maybe the roof-rack?), but they still work pretty well. In conjecture with jdm hid projectors, it's almost like daylight for about 300ft, then they drop off. Finally, in terms of installation, holy hell they are a pain in the ass. Plan out your install carefully; because of where they are located, you have only one or two ways of getting to the nuts to secure them into the bumber plastic, and it's very tight in there.
Good luck!

In the GT bumper, anything other than JDM fogs looks terrible. The holes are too well formed. One solution is to put the fog blanks (found on many 98/99 Brightons or LSi models) and then mount big beefy fogs in the lower bumper opening. Plenty of room there.
Another option is to find projectors that are small enough to mount inside the USDM fog.

why don't you move your cooler on the bumper opening or the grill opening? that way you can still use the stock or jdm fogs

Look for the fog blanks like I suggested. They are factory and clip into place.

Ok are they vented or just one solid piece? I want air to flow through there.

No room. My engine is much longer than stock. Very tight up front.

Look at my pics in the MR1 section. They are vented.

And are usually found on Brighton's easily. Well, at least the 2 I've seen. I'll go back to the yard I was at this weekend. Hopefully, the car is still there.
