wtf are you guys talking about?? theres nothing wrong with my paint:






also, i dont think ive EVER seen any good looking after market fog lights, especially for 99-04 mustangs. can anyone show me any examples?

Somehow when yall say 'aftermarket' i think about those cheap-*** blueish/yellowish china made fogs from autozone that vatos mount on their 'custom' trucks

you dont need to flip your intercooler. i retained my fogs with my 3in piping with a little trial and error.

cut about 2in off the piping going in until its almost touching the radiator support, and do the same for your passanger side. do you have your passanger side going straight up after the intercooler?

this is how i did mine:


see how the driverside is almost hugging the radiator support and yours is sticking out a lot. just dont do your passanger side like the pic, i had to bring the angle of that pipe downward to clear my fog light AND also had to cut the crap out of the foglight housing.

2 bolts on the fenders(7/16 i believe), 2 christmas tree clips(i think thats what they're called) underneath, and 2 plastic screws that hold your grill delete on and it should come off.

real simple to do, just requires cutting the pipes to make them fit. good luck and let us know how it goes.

me and my friend cut the crap out of stock bumper support and knew it was just dead weight, so i remembered Ox made his own and said screw it, im going to make one too lol. hope he wasnt mad about me stealing his idea. cost me like $10 for materials at the local metal scrapyard, bent it and had my friend weld it.

and no problem, always here to help.

I like his idea, but with my piping... I have 1 straight section all the way from the intercooler to the throttle body. No air turbulence or restrictions for this guy.

Did you look at mine? I have pics in my garage album on here. BTW, I think they are referring to the bug guts on your bumper...it just looks bad because the camera resolution is good. Mine looks the same, Im not worried lol.
