Front Valance Upgrade from 77 to 84+

So I hate how the front foglights look like they're dangling out in front of nothing. How hard is it to swap the valance panel to surround the fogs, so they look more integrated? Is it a direct bolt in? I have a 77 narrowbody.

Or you just leave the fog lights off. They are not very useful anyway, pre or post '84.

^^^this.

I haven't turned mine on in my time of owning the car. I've been thinking of making one of them a duct for the oil cooler, and the other a duct to pass air through the front AC condenser.

x2. to me the fogs on my SC always looked like someone at the fctory yelled "Oh *****!! We forgot to install the fogs! Quick, slap some on that valance!" so i bought, painted and installed a carrera valance with the recessed fogs. much happier now.

I'll be ditching the fogs on my '84 eventually. Never use them, and while they are better integrated than the SC fogs, I think I'd rather have the clean, Clubsport look instead.
