Default planning on getting a oem foglight instead of vrds...

and soo i was wondering for the people who have oem foglights did you guys do anything to make it locked so no one can steal it? because i know its really easy to steal it and i was wondering is there anyway to lock it with somthing or do u guys all just leave it as is?

I just left it as is, I don't know of a simple way to lock it (besides drilling holes in the bumper and bolting/screwing it in).

you DO know that not all lipkits need to be cut in order to fit properly, right?

im not pushing u to buy the VRD's but u do know that the VRD put a LOT more light output than the stock ones...

as far as the tieing down the OEM fogs... try making small holes in 1-2 inch lenghts in the bumper... and wire tie them...that will make the fogs much more sturdy and will make them harder to steal... cuz the ***** that jack the fogs will have to cut the zip ties one by one... worked for my friend cuz the wire ties are hard to locate behind the grill...

Well you heard wrong. However, the OEM lip kit does have to be cut.

Yea i hard something about stealing 'emm too, just yank out the whole grill..anyways, fogs in the center lowe grille are ugly imo, to me, those side 'vents' are the perfect place for fogs.

FYI.... You DO NOT have to cut the RS1 lip kit. I was going to get the vrd fogs when i had the lip kit and its only the oem lip kit that needs cutting
