Default Vararam

Does anyone know if the lower fog light ducts on the vararam can be bought by them selfs. I have a setup but both sides have been removed and left in place in the C5 because they had nothing to put in the fog light hole. Any info would be great..

If you are looking for just the inserts that go where the fog lights are then yes you can, and you may want to think about getting the ones that have holes cut out of them to allow more air flow to then engine bay. but im pretty sure you can get oem ones and im sure you could find some from a junk yard or form someone parting out their vette.

I think he means new from Vararam..obviously if you found one at a junk yard you could get them..

I don't believe Vararam sells the parts of the assembly separate. There's the upgraded part from B1 to B2 or whatever and the filter of course. You might want to call them to be sure though.

Yea I wasnt sure if he had the vararam system but now that I read it again it sounds like he does so...
If he wanted to he could modify oem inserts but vararam customer service is really good and I imagine that if he was to talk to them they can send you some that you could attach yourself for a reasonable price.

When I get back to Houston Monday I will give them a call and see if they can sell me just the parts I am missing. I did cut the OEM covers out on the back side to mount the vararam downward ducts. I used duck tape to secure them together but I am not a real fan of this. This would work but it needs the correct fog/duct. Maybe I will get some luck from Vararam....

They are just stock ones with an opening cut in them. It appears like they more or less cut them on a bandsaw from the center out just behind the back part closing the opening. They cut the width of the duct and then cut in from the back to take the piece off.
