hahah sorry for idiotness. haven't had much experience and don't own a silicone gun. I am guessing it just compresses the canister and silicone gel gets applied to whatever.

Yep! (you were mistaken with glue gun, btw)

rofl not hot glue gun..

anybody else think its a valid idea? The only problem I can see is that the line of silicon wont be thick enough..

also, if you had fogs, and didn't cut the holes in the side cover, would there be any point to having an icebox? wouldn't you be better off taking out the plastic cover altogether?

lol well you can try and feed the air some other way by using flexible aluminium piping to add on to feed from else where, otherwise ask yourself if you want a big hole there where everyone can see it or would you rather cut out the plastic cover?
IMHO i prefer cutting out the plastic cover as at least you have the looks with a cover rather than a hole.

[power_of_dreams]

hole would be hardly noticeable imo.

Or you could drill holes in that plastic cover.

wouldnt get as much "ram effect", not to mention I'd rather not destroy the cover.

You don't need to cut the fog light cover. I'd leave it alone. Not much difference with the icebox.

[power_of_dreams]

interesting if true...

[aaronng]

The position of the plastic horn is too high above the fog light plastic cover for ram air.
