Default has anyone Painted their fog pockets on a t/a?

lt1 or ls1 Has anyone ever painted the fog sorroundings of the trans am fog

bumper black. just curious ive seen one trans am, but havent seenn another.

Was thinking of doing this, but im not sure if it looks too good. Im talking

about where the fogs sit the housing of the fogs. If i were to paint it

black, just the housing it might look good.

Post pics if anyone has done it.

I haven't thought of that, but have contemplated removing them and cutting the openings to make space for a dual intercooler

Yeah, mainly because state law requires us to run a front plate. It is either that or go with a W2A cooler

^ WOW looks better than I even imagined, can't believe more people don't do this along with painting the under side of the spoiler.

I've always wanted to this but pretty much pointless with my car being NBM.

^ Nice but I think you should come out a lil further with the black so you can see the contrast slant from the bumper design like in the pic above.

There's a reason only a few people have done this to their cars.
