Fogs are useless. Any ideas for good use of ports w/o fogs?

Has anyone managed to fashion an effective vent to help brake cooling or somthing else productive to replace the fog lights? Or has anyone filled in the ports or made plugs for them for a sleeker aerodynamic look (might take away a lot of the "Viper-look" of the front end though)?

pretty sure there are brake cooling tubes available with shields for the calipers. I'm sure ACR owners will chime in.
I switched over to the GEN 3 type fog lamps (clear lense)

I have heard that there is actually negative air pressure at that spot on the front facia...So probably no help in cooling the brakes....Some painted to match covers might be cool.......Or you could rig some gen 1 covers on your facia..

Cheers,

The guys who painted my car for me took them out. I never put them back in. I like the look of it.
I did save them.

How about putting some whistles in there that change pitch with the wind speed? Sort of an audible speedometer. Gotta be better than pin-wheels.

Or someone told me they saw a GTO last week with a fake nitrous system. He had a nitrous bottle out back that only ran to purge nozzles coming out of the cowl and when he hit them you could smell that the bottle was loaded with carbon dioxide not nitrous. You could blow the vapor out the fog ports like bull snorts. :D

Those aren't ninja stars, those are very short intakes for the the twin turbos. So short, you can see the intake impellers ! They may not last long with the debris passing into them, but they will get cool air... They probably sound cool also !

LOL
