Default What would you do with my bumper?

Just looking for some suggestions as to what would be some good ideas on "fixing" the fog light area on my front bumper.

The actual lights themselves will not fit in the area anymore because of the intercooler piping. Which is fine with me because I never used them anyways. I do still have the housing for them and could fab a little bracket to make them stay on there.

What what what would you do?

Do that and run some dryer hose to your front brakes.

put them back on....there is a thread somewhere on ht....that shows you have to keep them w/fmic....you do have to remove a part off the foglights for it to work....and another way is to flip your FMIC....but i say leave them on...
