I decided to remove my OE fogs for several reasons, and I'm very glad I did it. One of the reasons is pretty obvious by the pics. I just snapped a couple in the dark, but I'll get better daytime ones up in a bit.

Water is just going to pelt that filter. Get something to protect the filter from direct contact with water. Like 2dr-Sentra said i dont think you will gain anything. Its not like ram air or anything. And those brackets will unbolt from the bumper assembly.

I'm not expecting any power gains, but I know it wont hurt anything either. I should mention that my car is not daily driven, and stored winters. The main reason I took them off, is becuase I honestly think they're ugly. Plus, I'm going to be ripping my car apart this winter, and anything that I don't want/need is getting thrown. Things like the sound deadening, and A/C will be removed as well. Weight reduction is part of the plan, because I plan on doing some road racing/autoX in the near future.
Some ducting and you will see power gains. Gaining power on the intake side is just eliminating pressure drop. Not sure why all these people are dissing ya, but I think it's a good plan to make your intake side more efficient. Just add ducting.

If your worried about water... you can just purchase a bypass filter on the bay.
You shouldn't have to worry though unless you like to drive in the atlantic...

The filter should be protected from getting directly hitting with water. You do not want the filter getting wet every time it rains. It will wear out the oils faster and not work as well. Not saying this is a bad idea but just protect the filter form direct water. When driving 60ish in the pouring rain and you decide to hit the throttle, the already soaked filter will start sucking in water. Not a lot but enough that you would not want it in there. Not a great idea, put a little deflector in there or the fog blanks.

I am well aware of that too. You should see what we did with my buddy's Civic. We built a ducted, ram air system, that almost works too well. His Short ram intake goes into a sealed box alongside the pass. fender, with a 4" hole in the right side. That hole is connected to a 4" flex tube that goes down behind the grille, then turns 90* to face forward, and has a 6" X 12" duct panel that funnels to to fit the 4" tube. On the highway, the thing makes about a half pound of boost.
It might sound kinda ricey, but it works very well.
