SBX Bumper concept- Input needed from community

i think "strip style" fog lights would look better than round ones.. i was thinking the lower portion of where you have just because you may be able to get a little more light out of it (than the top portion) and it may be easier to design

Good point...I agree that the fog lights would look even better on the lower area on each side.

Would be better for the fog to possibly??

The Limits of Going "As Low as Possible"Ground clearance risks:
Lights mounted extremely close to the pavement face high risks from road debris, deep puddles, snow banks, and steep driveways.

Decreased reach:
If a light sits too low, the effective illuminated forward distance shrinks too much, limiting usefulness when the fog clears slightly.

Legal and design standards:
Regulatory bodies (like the Department of Transportation) set strict height boundaries—typically between 12 and 30 inches off the ground—to balance ground penetration with proper projection.

Okay...So maybe not so good having the fog lights on the lower area then. Here are a few AI renderings with integrated canards:

1) Fast and Furious Supra style (not my cup of tea):

2) No fog lights (looks clean):

3) Strip fog lights (side intake areas look too wide):

Considering the above, I think number 2 looks the best. I think it would look even better if the side intake areas were:

• widened a bit more towards the intercooler;
• strip fog lights added in the top area like in number 3; and
• extended down to the black section of the lower front bumper area.

Essentially, a blend of the original PIC @SBX Performance posted, number 2 and narrower strip fog lights from number 3.

Look better than my attempts to put a m2 style grille in
