both my windshield and my left fog are cracked...the fog took one hell of a hit and if it wasnt for the yellow cover that i bought from import that turns my driving lights into fogs, the lense would be lying on the ground somewhere !!! seriously, that yellow film is the only thing holding that lense together !!!! they dont use pea gravel here on the roads, they use friggin' boulders these 2 items are going to be $$$$$$$$$...got a $500 deduct on the windshield...never had one crack as easily as this one, could be the angle its at or the type of sand that is being used in its creation....does anyone know where i can get stone guards for the lower driving lights ???

ah, the alaskan beauty mark! i got a nice big crack the second week i had my vibe on the passengers side. my left fog light is also toast and in parts. GM said it will cost $130 for the one foglight! crazy! and until my windshield gets so bad i can't see, then i'm not even going to bother with it.

hey, red! actually, i think the ebay seller is auto trim design there in fbx. you may want to give those guys a call. it's invisiguard or something like that. for the headlights and foglights for the vibe. they're one of our clients, but i can't remember their # off the top of my head.

You could use a rock gaurd for a Jeep CJ7 front turn signal lense. they are cheap and easy to find and it would not decrease light output too much. I have used them on several vehicles.

I've replaced 2 foglights so far. Why they didnt make them clear plastic is beyond me.
