Default foglight bezel Mod

Has anyone switched their stock fog light bezels with ones that have have no back wall (or drilled their stock)? What exactly does this mod do? Is it worth doing? Also How hard is it to install - does the car need to be lifter or can the bezel be accessed under the air-filter.

Thanks,

SRQC5

I REMOVED MINE COMPLETELY AND PUT Z06 SCREENS. REMOVE AIR INAKE, AND PLASTIC SHROUD AND THERE ARE3 BOLTS ON EACH. YOU CAN DO IT WITH OUT LIFTING, BUT I JACKED ONE SIDE AND IT WAS EASIER. DONT KNOW IF ITS WORTH IT, BUT I FIGURED MORE COOL AIR IS BETTER, AND I GOT THE SCREENS FOR $75. MARK

I cut mine to direct air to my blackwing. Works fine. No problems.

I also have Z06 screens

Default fog light

I made a paper templet so all the holes would be the same and all look uniform. I drilled four 1 1/4" holes in the plastic on each side. Looks good and funnels a lot more air up the the Halltech stinger.

Cut out a section and added some screening, it looks stock until you get up close.
