oem fog lights w/ intercooler?

Can you keep your oem fog lights when u put on a intercooler? or do they interfere and need to be removed?

bumper support? what are u talking about? thats how it sits, thats how its supposed to be.... its mounted to the bottom of the radiator support and i cut my bumper itself to fit it... but it doesnt matter cause i have a kaminari kit.. and the front lip covers it.

i hope it covers it, i think by bumper support he means that big a$$ piece of metal behind the plastic bumper thats curved and about as wide as the whole car, if u take the bumper off u cant miss it, it also had the 5mph foam piece on it, if u still have that on there

Yes its called bumper support.... like c2civic said if cut some of that out u can mount it higher which makes not hang low at all.

Man, mad styling on your car. Lots of people have money to spend on this ****, but 90% of them lack the artistic taste your car has. Im serious, that red and black, with the SF intercooler showing looks just ****in wicked.

AND YOU CANT cut the bumper support .. thats just not the way that the intercooler mounts.... i understand what u saying.. but you dont HAVE an SF kit... so you really cant comment on the install. lease: and btw.. theres like a half inch between the bumper support and the IC...just to rub it in more that it cant be done...
