That's clean. And it's got fogs....lucky.


Do you have like a few cinder blocks in the back or something? That thing is sagging. Probably has nivomats that need replacing.

Like the Platinum wheels on it. Also looks like the front end is jacked up.
But overall looks good!

Fold the rear seat bottoms up and unscrew the belt from the floor and release it. Then screw is back in and see if it works fine.

The light in the cluster is only for the rear fogs.
The switch lights up for the front ones.

If the fogs do not come on check for power at the wiring to the foglights. If you do not have power then there is a relay under the dash to check.

It shouldn't, running the car with the airbox open is the "same" as running a SRI, shouldn't effect anything, other than the fact that you have absolutely nothing filtering what goes into your turbo and you'll just be sucking in hot air from the motor.
