Thanks.

Yeah, they're functional. The FMIC fits very snugly between their stock mounting locations.

I don't see why you couldn't keep the stock fog lights on a TA. Is it just access to the wiring or space constraints. Obviously it's been done. What's the difficulty?

I do too. That's how I plan on doing it on my 93 once I put the big engine and turbo in there.

lol, I've always thought my car was one of the most plain looking FI cars here, but that's the look I try hard for!

I don't remember the exact measurements, but it's got flipped end-tanks and is rated to 800 hp... I think Frost, a sponsor here, is running my same one too...

I did find a pic:

Car's never been on the track...

If I remember correctly from the last time getting logged, Dan from Masport observed a little over 100 but that was on the dyno with not a very good fan in front of the car on a NASTY day over the summer... On the road it's at ambient or less... This is spiking 17 psi of boost too on a taxed turbo.

I should mention that I have methanol injection, however (50/50 with water)... Snow progressive... 2psi light spray to 12 psi of boost full spray.

TA guys... Why not just get a Firebird bumper and use it so you can keep the foglights? I know the fogs look better towards the center, but IMO a Firebird bumper looks meaner because it looks wider. Buddy of mine had a WS6 Formula and I loved the way it looked.


I gotta find out how to make a LT1 Camaro have a visible intercooler and not look cheap.

bboyferal where did you get that mesh license plate cover? Did you make it yourself? I have been trying to find one for a while now or at least figure out how to mount the screen if I cut the center out of a stock one.

Here's a front pic:




Back:




The front just has cheap rubber trim you can get anywhere... The mesh is from a wastebasket bought at Wal-Mart... I forgot the name of the gook I used... I think it's used for plumbing or something.

Hope this helps!

bboyferal that is a very nice setup, looks good. Packy I didn't look at yours, i can't even see them, do you take off the license plate frame?? This is exactly what I wanted, looks like mesh seems to be the way to go. Keep the pic's comming, the more custom the better

The ones at the top are of my street car using a Staples trash can for the mesh. The fog light brackets have to be modified but they are firmly mounted and functional (they come out forward a couple inches, 4" OBX). I recreated the same thing on the race car I was a former partner of. This car no longer has the headlights but the foglights do work as the lights for racing, we painted the mesh with the car.

Very Nice. I would like to avoid cutting my stock one in case I ever put the car back to stock but if I can buy another pewter one that will be perfect. Thanks a lot man.

No problem brother.

I didn't cut up my stocker... I still have the stocker in the trunk to put back on once in a while. I had bought a second one to do that to.

Oh, and you can give the credit to 2001WS6Vert. He's the one that gave me the idea. AFAIK, he's the first one to come up with that.
