Why do I see so many missing FTP lenses?
About 1/2 the FCs I see have no flash to pass (FTP) lenses. Why? I can see not having the passenger's side lens if you're trying to get cold air into the intake, but these cars are missing both lenses.
Since my FC is a gutted track toy I've been thinking of ditching the pop-ups for weight savings. Anyone use those tiny little rectangular lamps like GM loves in the FTP lens holes?

I haven't seen the GM style lights in the FTP spot, but thats pretty creative. Personally I light the flip-ups. I have also seen many FCs minus the FTPs I think it looks better and more symmetrical than just one out. I like the ones that have taken the lenses out and put little grills in there instead

I took mine out when i first bought that car, then after while it kinda looke dlike it was a wreck, I prefer them with ftp's, or custom ones that were cut similar to the ones u can buy for a miata with vents in them

i took mine out because they were horrible.. and then i realized one had a broken stud.. so i didnt bother buffing them back to new.. about 18 months later i finally got a good pair and sanded em and buffed em.. and now they are back in there.. all is well.
