Thanks a bunch. How much space was there between the bottom half of the bumper, where the lower grill and foglight areas are, and the bumper support and radiator?

the grill inbetween the foglight holders.. is it de-tachable? and are the whole foglight holder thing de-tachable? meaning you could pop the whole thing out or does it require some cutting..

cutting

jsut like my 7thgen. frackin honda.

if you want to putin fog su need to cut the hole
and if u want at the grille. its a seperate piece that looks spot plastic welded in. u may be able to cut it a bit and make it removable.

why wont honda learn. sigh. lol

lol tell me about it, i think it would look pretty aggressive though with the wide open grill and open fog area, with some eggcrate style meshing..

I wonder if you could see the CAI cone part where the left side foglight part is that would look mean.. then later on the FM intercooler for the turbo

Thanks

So do you have to remove the bumper just to replace the front turning indicator bulb?
