Don't mind the rain and chipped paint. No no no...

I removed the entire plastic piece, and the foglights, then pulled out the air-funneling plastic pieces, the plastic around the radiator where the AC used to be,, and the metal braces behind the lights that really seem to serve no purpose at all. I then bolted the front half of the air dam back up (sans useless metal braces), and used tin snips to cut out what remained of the plastic in the holes.

A quick trip to Lowes netted me some metal screen that you're supposed to use to cover your chimney or something, but it didn't look cheesy like chicken wire. I shot it with primer, and with a little cutting and bending, and a few well-hidden zipties it was done. I filled the holes from the license plate bracket (which didn't come out very well) and then shot the entire piece flat black, except for the 'Camaro' part. Not bad for a couple bucks and an hours work.

If anyone wants the metal brace things, or the foglights (one has a chipped lens), they're yours for a beer:

Maybe it's just me, but IROC's need the driving lights. Deleting them makes them look like an RS.

Looks good. Since nobody spoke up, I'll take the lights off of your hands. I have on broken on my Red car, just not sure which one.

Looks cool Aaron. Did you see that thread on TGO from BluZee?

Not until you mentioned it just now. I had thought about doing a full grill like that on it, but it's kinda ricer, kinda expensive, and kinda more work than I wanted to put into it for scant performance gain.

He did a good job on it though, and his emblem idea is interesting, but it ruins the entire point of deleting the foglights, since airflow is still restricted.

Sorry to say, but you're not going to gain any performance by deleting the fog lights.

I figured anything I gained would have been from pulling all the air box junk out, not the lights themselves. It does run about 10* cooler at high speed though.

Do you not have an air dam?

And if you think about it.... Firebirds have no airflow or performance then Laughing

I have the same wire mesh in my grill.

I would have kept the plastic in around the radiator. Helps keep cold air out front, and hot air in the bay rather then up into the snorkle.
