Default First UPPER grill induction!!

Okay so today i came up with a "good" idea.

The shelby gt-h has a lower grill with ducting to the brakes.
(Could be modified for intake, but gt/cs front needed)

Agent 47 makes the headlight delete kit which looks awsome but, not good for a street car.

SOOOO...

Today i picked up a Spare Front Grill... OEM style Fog Light Grill..

MY IDEA:

Make a FOG LIGHT delete kit. Same concept as the agent 47, but with the fog lights. Removing the Fog Lights, and creating clean ducting to the Intake. and obv some sort of grill in the fog light spot for protection and depris filter.

I will be starting this project tonight with drawing and designs, and hopefully be complete before the weekend ends.

THOUGHTS?
AM I CRAZY?
IS THIS A GOOD UNIQUE IDEA YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO SEE?
IF IT CAME OUT VERY WELL, WOULD THERE BE A DEMAND FOR PRODUCING?

theres an intake that mounts on top of the radiator cover which is similar. Is there a clear path from the fog light to the intake? Isnt the radiator in the way?

even if u have the radiator mounted intake, a duct would still be a huge benefit. SO MUCH air passes into bother the foglight openings. depending in you intake, the setup would be slightly different..

Just curious, what makes the Agent 47 grille bad for a DD and how does this idea rectify that?

Good idea if it is carried out well. I personally wouldn't do it because I like the fogs, but so many guys here buy grilles to delete the fogs anyway... I could see a product like that selling if it looks good.

Its not the grille hes referring to. They make ducts that replace the headlights.
