I hate mine....hate them. If I didn't have to cut off the tabs that OEM fog lights will eventually fit in (cut them off from the bumper), I would have some type of mesh in there already.

I'm talking about fake fender vents. Portholes. Any hole cut into a fender that has no purpose.

Not faux-brake vents.

i hate the plastic pieces where the fog lights are supposed to be. i wanted to get fogs, but i've heard thru the Honda grapevine that the fogs crack very easily, so spending $400+ on them just because I don't like the plastic pieces where the fogs are supposed to be sounds kinda dumb. :/

Get some rockblocker overlays for the fogs. The thick vinyl will prevent cracking.

Says who? The actual owners who have had foglights with rockblocker over them, or just naysayers?

Put 2 layers of clear rockblocker on.

Man.. I just realized that HIN event in Elmont, NJ is like 2 hours away. The publisher from Carbon8 Mag sent me an email this morning telling me he'd understand if I didn't want to make the journey.. LOL. I don't and won't.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not knocking rockblocker. It's just that a lot (and I mean a LOT) of Civic owners have complained about their fog lights cracking no matter what they try to do to protect them. So I dunno if I want to spend the money and HOPE i can find something that will protect them from cracking, ya know?
