Fogs, or No Fogs?

I used metal hole plugs
Just painted them with some spray paint that was pretty close

I had a Carrera front valance with driving lights on my SC for a few years, it fitted straight on , I was able to add an extension to the washer bottle bracket and push the bottle forward. I have now gone back to original valance looks cleaner. I never really thought the driving lights were useful,I added HID lights and the driving lights became invisible.

Yea they look nice on the 84' and newer cars.

A Carrera valance with the fogs removed gets more air to the oil cooler and front brakes. Besides, it looks all racy.

I prefer them gone. I think it makes a short nose look much truer to the original design. Anyone know where I can get some rubber plugs for the holes?

Here's mine with a no fog metal valance with the plate holes filled:

My '74 without fogs. I like the cars either way and even if they don't project light very far, they (at least on my 944) light up the curbs fairly well.

Ahhhhhh..........

Real headlights. How farkin' sweet is that?

Here is my '83 SC without front fogs.


When I got it it had been fitted with a 3.2 valence with integrated fogs, but I changed it back to no fogs as it was originally delivered.

In the UK front fogs were an option on the SC, so not all have them and you can get hold of valences without any holes that need welding up.

Ironically, I still have the rear fogs fitted, but it was how it was delivered (and at least one is a legal requirement here)!

I found one in the classifieds here with no spoiler and planned to drill the holes in it for a spoiler. Shortly afterward, I found an early whaletail for the right price, but the owner didn't want to ship. He lived in NJ, so I decided to take a road trip and pick it up. While there, he asked if I wanted the bumpers from the same car for free. We dug them out of his crawl space and to my surprise it included a fog light delete front valance with a spoiler. As an added bonus, it was in much better shape than the other one I bought too.

As for the wiring, I cut the wires as they entered the car and taped the ends. If I ever add Cibie's or something crazy, I'd like to use the factory switch.

I didn't want to weld the holes shut, in case I change my mind in the future, so I found rubber grommets that fit the hole and used a little water proof silicone to seal them.

I agree Will. I always thought the SC Fogs looked to be an afterthought. But I do like the look of a flush fog.

I like the safety (visibility) factor my 80W H4s and fogs give me for everyday driving. Of course, I live in the Seattle of horrible traffic and even worse drivers, so I'll take any help I can get.

I agree on both fronts. I like the way the 84-89 Carrera valance and the one you have because they appear to be designed with fog lights in mind. The bolted on SC ones look tacked on. If they were circular, I think they'd be better as they'd match the headlights better.

I have that valance on my car....I'm thinking of getting rid of it and going fog less with the original valance. You interesting in buying it? It's been fitted to my car but since it's all flexible plastic there shouldn't be any issues putting it on another 911 SC. I got mine from GT3Tek. I believe the price was $399 + shipping when I bought it last year.

It's a RUF valence

No, one Setrab 500 in the center of the valence. Scoops lead to brakes.

Let me start off by saying that this is not my car, but after seeing it, I really like round fogs at the valance. But then again, it could be that the Cibie's are balancing out the lower fog lights. Either way, I really like the fog light lay out on this car.

86 Fogs look nice, tucked in and small. I guess it comes down to preference!
