1. Yes, a lot of people have had cracks in foglights. I remember reading quite a few threads about this issue. Not sure what exactly the problem was, but I think it's the fragile lens. Contact Dave Burnette (DAVEB) for replacement fogs.

2. Sorry, can't help you here.

My foglight cracked because I put aftermarket lights in it that got way too hot. As soon as the cold weather came, the glass cracked. Also, rocks will make it chip to, but that wasn't the case for mine.

I live in CO too, the snow is crazy out here I can't go anywhere in the max. Anyways, i believe your fogs haven't cracked because they are plasic lenses rather than the glass ones on the 2k2 and 2k3. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

1. No cracks in my foglights.

2. I have the HKS rear section and it looks great and sounds better. BTW, don't look for any HP gains, it is strictly an appearance booster.

thanks for the responses guys and the fogs probably aren't covered under waranty either huh? that sucks

rich do you have any pics? yeah i'm not really looking for any huge gains i just need something that looks good and makes some noise these cars are way too quiet stock. i also have the JWT pop charger on the way so that should sound nice as well

When I had the 3M clear bra put on my Max, he also did the headlights and foglights. No cracks ...
