I agree.....fogs on the outside looks more clean.

Great job on being creative with the project though! Wish I had the skills to do that kind of work!

Looks good so far.

Definitely fogs on the outside, or just enlarge the vent and forgo the fogs.

Have you decided what you are going to do to dress up the vent hole? Wire mesh? Horizontal bars? You'll definitely want something there so it won't look empty and you end up w/ a bunch of road debris being trapped behind the vents.

Thanks, I was going to ask someone to photo shot. I'll kick it around a bit more. I'm thinking no fogs lights and just a bigger vent. I'll post my next set.

I posted before reading AlterZgo. Yes, probably black wire mesh, maybe silver. But yes a screen of some sort. I even thought about fabricating tube to cool brakes.

1st gen coupe example

Here is a first gen G Coupe I found in the gallery. This might be what some of you guys are thinking like for the 2nd gen journey sedan? It should fit on the X's to

EWG35, I really like your idea of doing this for the 2nd gen sedan .
My preference would be to go without the fogs and just open it right up with some mesh backing like you where thinking.

Cheers

Here is a better photoshop. I have fiberglassed these as is and since I already put in the work I thought I get your opinion. 4 options I'm looking at: 1) Leave as is 2) Light on the outside 3) no lights, larger vent 4) start over with new idea.

Hmmm...didn't like them before, but straight on I'm kinda feeling the lights on the inside. Nice echo of the round headlights, and they look good on either side of the main vent.

I like the fogs on the inside.

If you move them to the outside, you'll end up trying to be like everyone else with what has become the "Evo/STI" style.

I'll have to look up the vette and 460, but I think I know what you mean. I have been thinking about an idea like that. Maybe paint the inside of the vent black the fog light might disappear. I think I'll make these first then once I get them painted I decide what to do next.

Thanks for the input guys.
