Default Intercooler piping and fog lights?? 99 front end

I've been lurking the board for the past 2 months and finally decided to join. I'm looking to turbo my 96ex w/ 99 front end conversion and have a pretty good idea on the route I want to go.

I currently have fog lights and was wondering if they would be alright or if they would get in the way of the intercooler piping. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I figured I should find out before I started buying parts. Thanks

With a large front mount 28-32, you usually have to scrap the fog lights. If you have a shorter one, just move your radiator over a bit and the pipes dont have to run around the front end/radiator support.

---- the fog lights. just give them to me and run a big *** intercooler. lol. jk.

depending on how you run your pipes and what intercooler you have, you might be able to run the lights with the piping.

if you run the JRC / CCA style ICS you will need to flip the intercoolers upside down so the endtanks are on the topside, its a little tricky but I think you could do it.

I have a 93 civic and i was thinkin of how to do it with my OEM fogs...I was thinking maybe a 12''-16'' silicon bend would make it much easier?

I would havne't 100% hard pipes..but oh well
