yeah thats all it is the mountings gotta be different on the one where the foglight was and you haffta take a little material off your valence, but it seems fairly straightforward....ive got it almost done just a little sanding and then some paint....anyone wanna buy my fogs lol

Very cool, and I know it has been done before, so go for it!

That is a great idea. If you can make molds of air ducts that fit the stock fog light location, and look OEM, you have a great product. Make them in black fiberglass with round 3" outlets.

Yes, it's missing on almost every car. I'm putting in tubing, its cheap and replaceable.

i was actually discussing this with a buddy today how much would be reasonable price wise....like 80 a pair?

Figure how much you're making it for once you have a finished product and you've figured how much you've spent yourself.

I don't know where I saw it, but it was from a New York E30 that I saw at a show in PA. I'll search around...

EDIT: Here it is from a NY show, but no front end shots!



Sorry, I can't seem to find any more pictures. If I do I will post it.
