A few pictures of my next body mod......

It's just in the planning stages right now.....

As you can tell, they obviously are too small, so that needs to be addressed........

So I think it compliments the headlights very nicely.....


Opinions, Comments, Suggestions?

They look cool. If you move them up a bit and mold a piece to the bumper with a hole the size of the light it would look good.. or you could cut a piece of plexiglass and put it in front, then just tape it off the size of the light and paint it.

They do compliment your headlights...but they just dont seem to work right there. Even if that area was still smoothed in around them i still dont think it would look right. Is one of those bulbs supposed to be a blinker??

No, they are dual stage fog lights....

I would wire the bulb that's not in the projector housing to double as a blinker.....

I like 'em! Should look very cool once you've sorted out the little details.

yea, thats what i though... You are gonna get mad crap from the coppers for those i would say. It might be easier to tell how they look there if you take a pic of the whole front end in the light tomorow for a beter perspective. You have shown your skillz at the body mods so why not smooth those in and use em just as the foglights, then work in one of the fourth gen wrap around blinkers down at the bottom(i have always thought that might look good, but seriously doubt it could be done smooth)

Hey Flynlow,

I know this is going to sound crazy but hear me out ... aluminum or billet aluminum to match your grill. Maybe someone can make a template from the light that used to go in there and then make a cut out for the new light you want in there. Just an idea.

Nice foglights... I think they would look good installed. Mind sharing what kind they are and where you got them?

Nice!

I always had the idea of having a half fog light-half blinker in that spot on our Camaros, just never really found the right size.
I haven't put too much time in to it anyway. It would be nice of someone made a custom on that fit with half and half. Of course the half fog light and the blinker half would have to be a nice bright led!

My front bumper is far from perfect, But I got the bumper for free when my car was totalled and it made the car look like a Camaro again, so I put it on. Something with the lighting makes it look wired in the picture, it looks better then that...The billet material is just an S-10 billet grill. I cut out the center section for my main grill and took extra bars,cut them to length and used nuts as spacers and bolted them all together.
