Chris Bemis 5 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 For those of us that don't have foglights, I hate the factory foglight delete panel. I'd love to see a molded, smooth panel that can be painted body color. That would look so much better. Anyone built a homemade one? Link to post Share on other sites
stevesparky 20 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I was thinking the same thing. Should be easy to do with an aftermarket round light. Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 You would think they would come that way, has to be more aerodynamic as a smooth panel. You can get it out without removing the entire bumper cover by removing the two screws under that corner of the fender, and pulling the snap fasteners for the fender lining and reaching in with a screw driver. You might need a stubby driver to get some of the screws and I can't remember but it is only a few screws holding it in. Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Bemis 5 Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 I wonder what the factory panels cost in case I screwed up? It would be easy to pop them off, sand down the fog light shape with a belt sander and then smooth the whole thing with fiberglass and paint it. Of course, my wife wouldn't be real happy with me modifying a car with less than 100 miles on it. NovemberSpark 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Greg_E 211 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 I don't think they are expensive, I would expect around $30 each because you can buy the entire fog light kit for around $150 if you look around. I'm saving mine for the day when I finally make a bracket to hold better fog lights, and then I'll need the stock ones for those better lights. Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Bemis 5 Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Hmmm, It's probably not worth $80.00+ in materials and then the work involved just to try this out. It also wouldn't make enough aero difference to improve mileage. Are there any manufacturers making parts for the Spark now that I could suggest this to? (I just bought a 2014 1LT yesterday with the CVT trans) Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Bemis 5 Posted September 29, 2013 Author Share Posted September 29, 2013 I'm 99% sure I'm going to eliminate the resonator box and route hoses to both dummy fog light holes. Cut out the fog light holes and have a dual feed "ram air". Kills two birds with one stone. I hate the dummy fog lights and also could probably free up a little mpg and maybe even some power. I have no hope for actual "ram air" effect, but it will be cold, pressurized air getting to the filter. The driver side will be a pretty direct path, but the passenger side will be pretty curvy and likely, pretty small. But, I am a guy that needs symmetry and I'm not going to have an open fog light hole on the drivers side and a dummy hole on the passenger side. Link to post Share on other sites

jibb3r 29 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Here's what I did to my "dummy" fog lights. That's pretty sweet.. They look like lenses, anyway. What are they? Wheel caps? Link to post Share on other sites

natemont1991 0 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 (edited) i have been contemplating the idea of making a smooth fog light delete also ones that can be customized to fit different lights. the only thing stopping me is how many people would want them.
