z/28 question
ok so ive been watching videos and looking at pictures of the Z and it looks to me like there are plastic inserts where the fog lights should be? please correct me if im wrong but wtf?! I realize that its a "track" based car and they are trying to shave weight and suck, ok.....I will most likely not ever be in the market for one but it seems like a 60k+ car should at least some with functional fog lights. please someone tell me im wrong!

Probably weighs as much as a lot of change sitting in your cup holder

stupid question but, why not just delete it all together instead of putting plastic inserts?

Because two random holes in the front fascia would look stupid.
And probably affect aero.

Because then you have to re-engineer an entirely new front fascia specifically for the Z/28. Which takes time and costs money.

I'm all about the weivht savings on that car, but fake fog lights looks like crap. Have a flat piece of plastic or something there, that's what I think.

They could have maybe used them as cooling ducts for the brakes.

They eliminated a bunch of stuff and instead of reducing the price, they increased it!
