and the finished product, sorry about the lighting, I finished up after dark last night




not sure when I will get it painted, the whole car needs to be done anyways so I will do it all at once
Looks great! Especially considering it was from the old company! I'm sure by "some work" you meant a lot lol!

thanks mark! it actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting lol. the turn signal buckets were really the only thing that needed work, my dremel took car of it no problem. one thing I have to say is damn this bumper cracks easy, going to have to be extra careful driving around with this thing. but overall I love it and cant wait to get it and the rest of the car painted!

I was also able to get the 98-02 fog lights to work with some simple brackets that I made (still needs some adjustment), best part of all was that they plugged right into the factory LT1 foglight connectors! also got a SLP license plate bracket as well

Just now realizing that I never posted that mine came in within the time frame they told me. Had an issue with one, but they were quick to get it replaced. Word of advice, don't get LEDs with ones at the top, they show the plastic stuff behind the gauges. I already had these LEDs laying around and were a perfect choice. They're bright and extremely white (no purple/blue hue), no more seeing the plastic behind them and zero bleed through around needles which was an added bonus since I see others have issues with that. Very happy with the gauges!!

Sorry for the cell picture, just snapped one for kicks over the weekend so figured I'd share. I'll have to get some of them during the daytime. Dark gray for cluster and black for HVAC, headlight and shifter.

looks like photo bucket decided yesterday to make everyone pay $40/month to host pics on third party sites. Unless people pay, none of the pics that people have posted, will show up. Ever.

Time to leave photo bucket, it's just too bad that all the hundreds of pics i've ever posted will go away.

WTF was Photobucket smoking to think this is a good idea. All it will do is cause them to lose money. I could see if they wanted to MAYBE charge $40/yr, but $40/month is flat out ridiculous.

ah thats whats been going on. I figured they were trying to charge an extra fee to have the perc of sharing photo's over a certain point. I dont use photobucket, but im curious does this lock out your account entirely until you pay the fee or do you still have access to your photos? Thats a dirty move if it locks people in

I can still get in my account. And it still gives me the IMG tags and everything for the pictures. They just don't work.

Your account will still work but there is no more third party hosting with Photobucket. Like many, i have used them to host all my pics i have posted on this forum over the years.

Many threads are now rendered useless because of this action, and not just on this site but probably thousands of others. Hopefully they reverse this and give all these sites their pics back!
