Without. Looks like the previous owner took them out to install the FMIC.

I have a trade set up to get a pair though, and am going to try and reinstall and work the FMIC around them if possible.

still have mine, also have the ets kit. If i had a different kit/homemade kit i would make sure that the fogs would still fit. hides the pipes on the passenger side much nicer. a lot of people don't even know i ahve a front mount till they get down and actually check it out.

I did have them, but the driver's side was broken when I got the car, so I never used them as it was pointless to just have one functional light. Then when I did upgrade to the ETS kit. However, my lower piping was hitting the passenger fog light, so I decided then to remove them, in the process I found out the bracket screws that held the lights to the old bumper were rusted to crap and ended up pretty much just ripping the lights off at that point.

The only 2 reasons I upgraded to the JDM bumper cover were,
- fog lights were now located on the bumper cover itself away from the piping
- I needed a new bumper cover altogether, the stock one is busted on the passenger side, and the bracket(exoskeleton piece) on the inside of the passenger side of the cover was mangled, because the car had been in some kind of accident with one of the previous owners. Probably a slight fender bender.
I already had the stock reinforcement bar cut up to fit the ETS kit, which I still have along with the old cover if I decide to use that for track use.

I'm running fogs in mine. FMIC fit just nicely. Now my dads vr4 had to lose a passenger fog cause the intercooler was way to big. of course he got the car like that.

Previous owner took the fogs out to fit the FMIC (but the piping could be re-done in a way to fit the fogs...)
 

got the car with the fogs an the bumper support sitting in the back seat, and i put em back in, i think it looks funny without em

I have the fogs in, but license plate is over the driver side. Soon going to remove it, an probably a 90 OFH and cooler in its place.

Without. I'd like to have em but I need the opening for my oil cooler. Plus the PO removed them and lost the brackets.

Hear that, Nate? All that money and hard work for what? Pointlessness.

I am sorry your turbo ate that headlight.

464/1000 came with JDM fogs. They're a bit rough, but they're doable.

195/2000 came with the usual one good/one jacked USDM fogs. I sold the one that was decent on here. For whatever reason now, though, I have a box with three pairs of these things. I might just put a $20 HID kit in all of them and mount them to the bumper for wannabe rally lights.
