ACS Bumper

I dont understand how the ACS T3 bumper changes the round fog lights of these cars? How do the fog light inserts change into the bigger inserts of the ACS?
also i see that phastek sells it for 400$ and some but is that the whole price for the whole conversion?

You cut out the round fog lights using a template for the t3 ports and the new ports get glued in. The original fog lights than must be mounted on a seperate bracket or an alternative light must be used.

Im a Do it yourself type but it is a little scary to cut your bumper. Altogether with the new ACS led lights it ran me about 800 to do for everything. If you goto a body guy its going to be a bit more for labor.

Here's a pic of my T3 ports with my preferred choice of LED lighting. The lights are also from eBay.

Here is mine that i did.


I did the Ports and custom relocated the fogs to the lower grille.



ACS sells these Brackets to allow the factory Lights to mount on the inside of the ports.


And will look like this when done.

I would rather have the T3 ports since my intake is right behind the drivers side port and I get alot more airflow to keep my IATs down and the ZL1 bumper is just lights and does nothing for what I wanted. Also you will see more and more ZL1 clones driving around and I would rather be a bit different.
