Its almost like I need to bow a piece of plastic. BUT need to remember this fact, the Subaru Fog light bulb is a 9006. The same 55w bulb used in dozens of cars as the actual head lamp. Those babies throw some heat, and trapping the air inside may result in the bumper melting or the aeromod melting. So the material needs to be heat resistant. Not to mention being that low to the ground, it will need to withstand a pelting of gravel, rocks, sticks, etc.

I may need to purchase a toaster oven and build a mini thermal bower. hahaha
i know what you mean-a fairly complex shape to form!

are there no aftermarket headlamp protectors that you could cut to fit?

Or altrnatively delete the foglamps if you dont use them that much?i dont know what the weather is like in your part of the world, but we dont get down to sub100m visibility here often
