Fog light covers

[Burntrubber]

I have clear covers over the foglights on my 96GTS. I didn't think they came this way. Any event, I did a search and could not find a how to on removing the fog lights(ACR style) and routing brake cooling ducts. I am trying to remove some weight and set the car up for a little track action. any thoughts? Thanks

All cars came with the cover thru 1998. Do a seach for Janni&Henry Cone's brake cooling system.

I found this which shows removal, but then I still have this clear plastic cover(to protect the foglights) that someone cut slots into the fascia to keep them there. I gues I could get them patched

That someone who cut 'slots' in your fascia was the factory.

shows how much I know, the problem is they are dirty as all heck inside them. I think I may take em off & take out the fog lights all together and route a brake duct

They absolutuley came that way, and you are wasting your time.

Extensive on-track testing (and wind tunnel too,) has revealed that at speed, these fog-lite nacelles (holes) are an area of negative pressure (Vacuum)

So they **** as air-feed holes for brake ducts UNLESS you build up grabber-scoops (drag) Call me for everything you need on this topic, and start at Online Shopping - Home and enter Brakes or Brake Cooling in search box

As JonB stated. Waste of time trying to route brake cooking system thru the fog light area (you are not the first to want this done). Real racers have 12 years of thought ahead of you.

Just go do some track time events, have fun.

Given the futility of filling in the facotry mounting slots (my body guy said "sure they will last for a little while") and the negative pressure mentioned above, this was my solution - paint the covers body color:

Viper sacrilege I know. But it works for me.

Where they removed from the ACRs to save weight?
If so is it just like the fog light is missing from inside hole?

Burntrubber, Let me know if you would be interested in selling the covers. Thanks.

On my 02 ACR, there is no fog light, no wiring, and no ductwork to cool the brakes. Just a piece of black body paneling to replace where the foglight was supposed to be.

They are pretty oxidized, you wouldn't want them. But if you do shoot me a PM. you can have them for free.

Its just a black piece of body plastic. Might be hard to see but its nothing special.
