Question Foglight replacement with air duct...

Does anyone have a good picture of an air duct that replaces the fog lights as well as a good place to order them from?

Thanks,

Dan

Thanks for the replies!

The duct that I'm looking for is like the one in the photo below where it uses all of the space where the fog light would go and tapers to an opening in the back. I can't seem to find them anywhere.

Default Brake Ducts

Redeye,

If you find any info on these brake ducts, please let me know - I'm looking for the same thing.

I'm waiting on a call back from AIR and will let you know if they have anything to offer.

Thanks much,

Rick

I'm not following the 3-5psi argument either. Our cars boost to between 12-15psi for most of us so anything under 12psi would be safe in my opinion.

Trying to make mine now. Would buy some if I could find them and/or they are a good price.

In regards to he holes beeing small, there is enough room for another hole, or just get a solid piece and cut out an oval or oblong hole.

I love the "funnel" style, that tapper back.
