Personally I dont like the fogs and I am considering the clean look for my 87 Targa.

Just finished placing this "Clubsport" valance from Rennspeed on my 1987 3.2 Carerra. No more fog lights to hassle with.

Now you guys got me thinking of taking my fog lights off. I've never used them were it seemed to make a difference.

I removed mine after 1) I found out it was an expensive fix if the glass got broken 2) I started a moderate weight-loss program (for the car, not me) and 3) realized that I didn't really like the looks/aesthetic of the fogs. I plugged the holes with some plastic plugs from Ace Hardware and painted them body color. Hardly noticeable. I left all the switches and wires in place in case I ever changed my mind. I don't regret removing them for a second.

I'm a stock all the way kind of guy. Since so many folks hate the stock fogs, anyone want to sell me theirs? Looking for my '76 which is missing these.
PM me!

Appreciate all the thoughts and pics. Guess I'll have to start driving it around again and decide.

that was "the style" for 3 years of the 80s, with the carrera being used for the other 7. 7 > 3.

Deleted the fogs (how often do we get fog in AZ?) and had the license plate holes filled prior to paint. I like the smooth look.
I don't have a picture, but I found a black plastic plug to fill the spot in the dash vacated by the fog switch. It looks factory.

I have an 82 SC with the stock fog lights. Am thinking about rewiring and using them as day time lights. Anyone do this? Not sure how hard to get this done.

Oh ok, didn't realize it was that simple!
I got some of those plugs from Ace for the exterior fog light holes, wasn't sure if there was something "nicer" for the interior. |

Go with H4's on relays and get the 85W bulbs from Steve Weiner. You will no longer need your fogs.
