My car had a mask this morning too, but nothing like that.

This was AFTER I got done hooning around on local roads for 30 minutes. Turns out our radiators don't need air to work, lol.

If it were physically possible to have snow covering your grille on a 110° day, I'd say that's about the only time you'd be concerned about your grille being obstructed by snow. If it's cold enough to snow, it's cold enough to not worry about your car overheating unless you're bouncing off the Rev limiter for 5 minutes...at which point you'll have many other problems.

Old school cars used to actually close the grille slats in cold weather to keep cold air out. Humfrz probably remembers that.

The option I went with was the black housing, glass lens outback fogs, with Hella H11 bulbs in yellow, and a PSX24W to H11 adapter. I'm happy with my solution.

I was mostly being facetious, but there ya go.

I did a little hooning last night too. Couldn't resist.

Good thing I wasn't revving the crap out of it for 30 minutes straight while I hooned around all the snowy roads or anything...

...wait, no, that's EXACTLY what I did :P

Looks good, but I'm apprehensive about a glass lens considering all the dents and dings my current fog light lenses already have...

One of the glass fog light lenses on my 944 that I used to have about 10 years ago cracked after a huge rock was kicked up by an 18-wheeler I was following. I watched it bounce, bounce...and then heard a sickening "ting" sound. Got home to see the glass lens cracked right the way through.

Crap revving isn't constant flooring with no load and no relief, so yeah, good thing you weren't doing that, lol.

Can't wait to allegedly hoon around the neighborhood later...

Based on how awful my oem plastic lenses looked after 25k miles, I'll take my chances.

I generally prefer glass lenses as they are much clearer, don't pit as fast, and can usually be replaced. For $35/side, I'll just buy another housing and swap it out and enjoy being able to run higher wattage.
