So i took out my fog lights

I thought it would add a few hp cause the fog light sits directly infront of the air filter for my CAI. I put some mesh in the fog holes to not allow anything big to hit the filter.

I didnt really notice any gains until i hit vtec, it seemed to pull harder and rev quicker.

Even if it didnt add any hp it looks better and it makes me feel like i added some hp

1) Your pics aren't working- you have to post a web link to get them up.
2) What is the hell did you tape up so heavily? The CAI draws air through the front, but the other openings in the various shields provide outward flow. Water shouldn't be an issue unless you live in New Orleans.

PS- Car looks much better w/o the lamps. See my pic on the side.

Sorry, I don't like it. I like my road lamps. Ever notice how everyone either likes 'em or hates 'em!? I think it's funny. If mine didn't already have 'em, I'd install 'em.

I did somewhat the same mine is an 03 (no road lamps) cut the fillers, (LOL hp gain) I and everyone near me hears me better when I am coming (at least I think), and it looks good, you will only have issues if you submerge yourself in water, a little rain is not doing going to do anything to you...

I like the cutouts, it looks really good.

Does anyone have any inserts laying around they want to get rid of?
