Question Anyone know where i can get these?

looking for the foglight covers like on Roger Foo's car

I've seen WRX's on the street with the foglight covers on them, i was wondering of anyone made some for the P5 and where i can get them?

any help would be greatly appreciated

If you look closely @ the photo's in this months SCC you'll see those covers are pop riveted on.

At best you might find a company that makes a cover that goes directly over the fog light housing..doubt you'll find anything close to a total cover like Foo's

I was wondering about this as well. I like the STi's covers for the Scooby's, and think something similar would look and work great on our Protege 5's and MP3's. Anyone know where to get any sort of cover to protect/cover the foglights?

Nice ES you got there. For a moment I thought it was a new MP3.
But just a thought. I think covering fog lights are nice but you lose their purpose. Dunno about you guys, but the more light at night the better.

welll, i can see perfectly fine with just the headlights at night

my plan was, to remove both foglights and drill some big holes in the left (drivers side) foglight cover so I could get a better air flow to the Injen Cold Air Intake (kinda like RAM AIR) cuz it is pretty much located right behind the foglight. I think Im getting a little crazy street racing the P5 here, but im gutting the car and leaving the stereo and bump in, i have no need for seats since 99% of the time Im the only one in my car, I just got my coilovers today too, so im gonna be that ricey P5 slammed to the ground with no seats, hahaha, 'Ludes beware

IMHO

Sounds like you need some significant other ! Maybe leave two seats!

Watch out for water in your intake. The lower and more forward your air intake, the more likely your motor will ingest too much water in deep puddles.

Thanks, took me awhile to do the conversion... long time to get parts. Have a good one.

Well for one the MP3 did not come in silver! for 2 Maby he wants a sleeper, and for 3 I think his Silver conversion is SICK!!!

Good Job Cruzer on the conversion Much Props! How much did they charge you for the headlights?

I initially looked for foglight covers that would protect the light while still offering illumination. Metal mesh covers, etc.. Tried looking in Grassroots Motorsports, etc and couldn't find anything. Looking for an alternative to helicopter tape, etc on trips to the track..
