The plan is to make the DRLs dim and blink like the standard lights once I've tested out my wiring plan. Or maybe just blink.

i changed my fogs to be used as the driving lights and turn signals, just switched some wires, and removed the stock side vent lights. i plan on putting the honeycomb mesh behind all 4 bumper outlets.

You could probably use Grand Prix grille honeycomb pieces cut to fit, for both OP's design and yours... It would fill-in the gaping hole and provide something for the LEDs to illuminate------>

I got mine from a photo chop years ago it was on a silver car I think the guys name was krazymike or something to that affect but his was with intercoolers in the vent holes.

My turn signals came from oznium they are flexible strips attached to some heat formed plastic. Wanted to do an acrylic light bar but I didn't have anything to cut it clean enough with (it was half inch thick). And ended up with what you see. Definantly makes the car look as powerful as it is.

Simple for the most part. He has already modified the bumper so the really hard part is done. Its going to be expensive either way.

I like it. It's a bit too radical for me, but it's cool.

Here are the Chops I did on Raider's car and Chaman's. I can't remember who's black car that is in the other one. Also a Firebird/Formula bumper chop with W68 lip molded in.

I second that.

I hate to bring this up but the import guys at least have some variety in their cars. With the lavish body mods I've seen at their shows even the exact same models sometimes look like completely different cars. We need variety, having everyone's car look exactly alike all the time makes things really boring.

anytime you "delete'' the front plate holder I think of the "2000 Bird of Prey"....speaking of front plate, I have to run a front plate so does anyone make a "clear" "flat" plate cover? I have a clear cover w/ bird molded in but it distortes the plate too much. If I could get a clear flat one taht would still be leagal...

If you can find a place that will make injection moldings of my Bird-less plate cover, I will send it to that company for them to make a mold so they can reproduce it. You can pay for the mold-creation and material fee, and I'll cover shipping to/from the maker.
