Default So now you have no foglights?

I must say, removing those grills seems like a dumb thing to do just so people can see (what looks like in that picture to be) a mere tiny amount of your ic's. What's the big deal? I'd rather have the night time bling of quad lights. But I suppose to each their own, just my opinion.

The fogs block a LOT of airflow to the intercoolers.

Default 2nd. i noticed a difference with the heat soak as well when i had my stockers in. josh,

my buddy down here did the same thing to his black avant, it looks hot and does not regret it for a sec. imo opinion the fog lights do restrict a lot of the air flow and besides, they gernerate heat when the lights are on.

Really? And what exactly do you use as your backup for this statement?

Default You noticed a difference with heat soak? Hmm....weird, I've noticed no difference.

But I do believe there's more airflow to the IC w/o the fogs in place.
