What to do w/ empty fog light holes???

[unclejackrock]

When I got my GT it had some cheap looking aftermarket fogs in it, so I took them out as well as the braces for them. I don't want to go back w/ fogs, but does anybody have any clever ideas of what to do with the holes???

 

[SCORPION]

spiderwebs!!!!

some kind of insert to put in the holes

 

[FastGT94]

Homemade ram air? Brake ducts?

 

[powershift351]

brake cooling ducts

i saw blackouts before for the fog lites i would do that if i had no light. you could always glue them in if they need the light to work.

Yeah, I had thought of that and it really sounds like the way I would go IF I could find some of those cheap.

i have never looked for them but it would be hott!!!! if you had the headlight done also.

On my old GT, I removed the foglights and brackets and used some GTS foglight blackouts I already had. I just drilled some small holes (2 per side) in the tops of the blackouts and in the foglight openings in the bumper cover at about "10 o'clock and 2 o'clock" (so that if I ever took them out, the drilled holes wouldn't be visible) and used screws to attach them.
At most angles and in most lighting, it just looked like there were foglights with blackouts.... but at some angles and lighting, you could just barely see through them. It was kind of cool.... and got rid of the "empty holes" look.
The GTS fog covers are only like $25.

I just took my fogs and brace too, I cannot understand why they used such a heavy bracket for those little lights....I want to use some kind of screen and do the same to the centre section of mine front grille. You can hide the mounts pretty easy it looks like to me.

If you've ever payed close attention, the bottom of the GT bumper cover attaches to the middle fog bracket to aid in support and shape. They did it because yeah, there's nothing else down there to attach to.

A ricer would put some strobes or neons in there, lol

 

[Mustang5L5]

I would put the stock fogs back.


Hey, i have an LX, I WISH i could put fog lights on my car

You COULD.... Dunno how it'd look... All LX's have the fog light connecteions already in the harness too

 

[Mustang5L5]

Yeah, i know where the harness ends are and I already have a GT headlight switch in. There's just no way to make them factory if you know what I mean.

 

[The Shape]

Hey did you see pimp my ride on MTv the other night? You could always put a bubble blowing machine in there like they did on that chicks car. Kidding of course

 

[larrendeuce]

Could leave them open, the Cobra R doesn't have any.

 

[evn_05]

Yeah you could do it like the Cobra R and put an oil cooler and brake cooling ducts in.... I dont know how much it would do on a street car, but it would sound cool anyways

As a matter of fact,for your information, I did, it supported the bottom bumper skirt.....what I also noticed was it did not support the rad in any way. I too think that it is not going to save my life in a head on collision. I planned on addressing the flexible bottom skirt issue for your information. It is poorly designed...that is my point....but thank you for attempting to warn me of this situation.

Hey, some Focus mule for one of the racing equipment companies has twin turbos (and an 8 cylinder/RWD conversion), with air intakes replacing the fog lights.

Just an idea for your fog light-less Mustang, if you have a bigger budget than me.

I personally would have fabricated it out of maybe tubular steel. I agree though, it's a lot of mass for a bracket up light-duty use. No, it doesn't support the radiator at all either like you said - that's all tak care of by the radiator core support mounted to each side.

I'de personally make the use of brake ducts to cool off those disks. Those things get so hot sometime that if you have ever seen them after hard abuse on a dark night, you'll notice some type of red glow behind those rims
