The latest little project was in response to my 3rd or 4th shattered fog light. This one went down one morning on my way to work, presumably thanks to a well aimed rock.

I wasn't really interested in continuing to throw my money away on fogs, nor was I thrilled about spending $40 on blanks or $200 on fiberglass air inlets. My co-worker had the borderline genius idea of just using the fog housing to create my own inlet. I hollowed them out, drilled a hole in the back, fitted a 2" flex tube to the driver's side and ran it up to the air intake. Came out pretty good for basically no money and a few hours work.

And a much less flattering angle, a little more time spent smoothing out that edge would make it a lot prettier up close though.
