I have no idea. What do you plan on doing?

They clip in from the back. If you want to put the fogs in there, you need to,take the bumper off anyway, and from there, everything is fairly easy.

nothing i just would rather not have them, they're always getting clogged with leaves on the brake coolants and i think it'd look better without them

I think it would cheapen the look, but to each their own.

They're there to protect the cooling fins from rocks and debris. They're also there to prevent the air ducts from clogging up, or from larger debris from being funneled back into the brakes.

Might want to consider the functional aspect of them and weigh that versus looks.

I wouldn't remove them completely either. They are functional but it would be nice to be able to get the damn leaves out from behind there!!
