so when are you coming down to old saybrook to make me a set?


Are they bright enough to safely drive with at night?

Cspence

iTrader: (11)

Not sure I'd wanna make these again lmao...this was probably the hardest project to do thus far...even with all the test fits and mockups, I still had to "salt" these in quite a bit.

I would definitly say these are bright enough to drive safely....I took it for a rip last night after the install, just before the rain and never felt like I was "out driving" the lights. These are way brighter than any standard hallogens and plus I have them aimed up a hair since I did'nt opt to get bixenons (glad I did'nt, no room for the shutters which are on the side of the housings)

Once I get all my projects squared away I'll have to meet up with all you locals....when I get some trust in the car to make long trips we'll have to shoot over to Bear Mountain for a run or something....

iTrader: (2)

Not much gets done during the week...Going to punch out the new rad cover, license plate holder (To make that slit in the driver's side of the bumper serve some purpose), and possibly the headlight scoop on friday....tomorrow I gotta check on what we got for plexi at work so I can attack my headlight covers....more will be here before you know it!!

Well I got all my newest pieces punched out yesterday, not formed, but at least its something....Included are the License plate holder, radiator cover, and headlight scoop. For the most part they came out good....the letters were a lot harder than I thought they would be, but their acceptable for not doing it with a waterjet or laser. I was also able to find some plexi at work that I'm gonna start to try and make my headlight covers, wish me luck! Sorry if it takes for ever to load, I took quite a few pics....(And no, the license plate holder was not made to go on the back of the car, but I thought it would make a good picture....maybe it'd be cool to put on at a car show or something...)

LICENSE PLATE HOLDER (Why have the logo there if its going to be covered up?? Why not! Figured if somethings worth doing, might as well do it the best I can!! I did make some blanks though...)

Will bolt to the frame and come through my bumper cover where I have that slit....then I plan on just bending my plate and this holder to match the contour of the bumper....

EDIT: Just mocked it up and am going to weld it tomorrow, 5-21...just figured I'd throw up some pictures

Well, got tons of work planned for the long weekend....got the license plate holder finished up today. I was going to use a krinkle paint, but ended up going out on a limb and coated it with some Duplicolor Bedliner **** which came out awsome!

**Don't judge me on my buggy *** bumper, lmao**
