REMOVING FOGLIGHT? Help!

ok, i was reading something about webtoker and how he wanted to remove his foglight for extra speed. So a lightbulb went off in my head. How many people here have seen speed vision, the races where Touring BMW's and integras race around. Ok, heres my idea, i want to buy some kind of metal wire that i can put in place of the left fog light so my CAI gets better air flow, this is just for the summer. But, how the hell do i take the fog light out, and is it easy to do. Gimmie some feed back on your ideas. Thanx a lot.

The foglight is real easy to take out. You need a small philips screwdriver. There is only one screw for each foglight to remove. I tried using a standard screwdriver, but I had a hard time getting it to fit. What I did was use a small screwdriver to make the screws loose. After that, I took a philips drill bit, and twisted it with that.

is it easy to put back in. If i left it out for a long period of time would it fuck up anything, like the fog light itself?

Do you mean ductwork? I don't think a "wire" would do anything. Maybe we could design a ramair / brake ducting system to fit in place of the driving lights.

I'm serious. Ram air would be awesome. Have you seen the ram air setups they have for the civic for track use? They remove one of the headlights and replace it with a scoop that connects to intake.
