And still functional.........
Plasti dipped fog lights?? What do you guys think?

Its not rocket science that opening up a restricted grille by removing fogs to replace with a screen increases airflow to engine components. 5-15 degree differences across the board moving and stationary in my testing via Aeroforce.
You do know the intake pulls air from directly behind the drivers side foglight and outer grille area?
Sure, but you're kidding yourself if you think doing that is going to make any sort of significant difference. The stock intake is actually a well designed piece.
.5HP increase, congratulations?
look, you're completely right, it makes a difference. but lets not pretend that it's anything to write home about, or even noticeable on the butt dyno.
exactly. this is the same forum that debates whether or not a CAI actually adds HP, yet pulling the fogs will give some sort of noticeable performance increase? c'mon now.
I'm personally not a fan at all of plastidipped anything. It's just cheap and tacky looking.
Form follows function. If you don't like the fogs, you should just delete them entirely.

You missed the point entirely, im not debating the stock intake and its design?
let me re-cap

This was using the stock intake with the foglights removed replaced with plasti-dipped screen.
Thank you for understanding, removing the fog lights does increase flow. Neither I nor UNI2IT stated any performance increases from doing so.
Keep this thread on track.
Just out of curiosity, do you own a 11-13 5.0?
Interesting....wonder how this will look on my DIB....i did my lower valance in plasti dip i think it looks good :shrug:
just as good , i mean it looks better on Ingot :lol1: but im sure it would look ok. All the GTs should have had this from the factroy
No, I didn't miss the point. I'm merely saying your "results" are insignificant - they're not going to affect the performance of the car. So while you taking out your fogs may make you feel good on the inside, you're just reinventing the wheel here.
Ok, so what's the point in doing it then? Self actualization?
Back to the point of thread, I agree with some of the others - plasti dip on the fogs looks tacky. And you'll probably break them should you accidentally turn them on.
BTW, AM sells delete kits now for the fog lights that don't look nearly as backyard as using gutter guard. I'm just sayin'.
You seem the to be the only one not grasping this idea.
Opening up the grille area so that air flow is maximized to the front end components of the car is the point. I don't know how much more clear i can make this.
The block off plates you mention are $99 and my backyard functional gutter guard with a can of plastidip is under $10.
The problem with it is that it looks like a $10 dollar job too. Leave that crap to the Honda crowd. :lol1:
nah i don't think so.
Looks similar to the boss 302s grille.
Ive had the roush grille, don't like the saleen and the CJ is pretty hard to come by. So for me this is a functional alternative.
Funny you mention Honda Steve, bring your Garage Queen out to Ennis tonight for Fast Friday and see if you can keep up. :burnout:
Yeah, I'll pass on that one. You have fun with all have slippin and sliding on that surface out there. :lol1:
eh figures. :bored:
I have jiujitsu training at 6am, can't stay out late anyways.
Vicious Jay HOLY CRAP that really does look amazing. Thinking of trying that on my Sterling Grey...
Did you use tape to block off the top part to not get it on the other part of the bumper?

Honestly some of u guys are just plain ridiculous!! Had I not said it was plastidip and posted these pictures for delete plates from AM u guys would found something else to say. I can guarantee one thing if u saw my car and those fog deletes u wouldn't tell the difference. U guys act like we drive lambos and Ferraris let me tell u some Hondas for ur info cost more than some of our big bad mustangs pshhhh.... If I mess up my lights then I'll get new ones, for now I'll stick with my $6 Plasti dipp that looks exactly the same.
No, I completely understand your idea. I'm also telling you that reducing underhood temps by 5-10 degrees isn't going to mean a hill of beans difference in the grand scheme of things. I don't know why *that* is so hard for you to understand.
Yeah, and your $10 job looks like a backyard $10 job too. Reminds me of something I would have done........when I was in high school.
Anyone that dropped $30k+ for a car shouldn't have to resort to using Plastidip for modifications. Call that snobbish, pretentious, arrogant, whatever - I don't care. I think the entire Plastidip trend needs to die in a fire. :xpl:
