totally badge less now w/painted grill

It all started with someone moving my stop board in the garage. I parked just a inch short from the garage rolling down into my bumper. It made a big one foot gash down the rear bumper. I touched it up and it looked horrible so they wife said, "i'm not driving around in a car with a bird crap looking gash, get it fixed". [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img] and fix it I did and took advantage of the opportunity to get a couple things painted.

Thanks to TSGURU for the flush grill pieces he made around last november.

Re: totally badge less now w/painted grill

after spending 3 weeks creating angel eyes for the fog light section, I decided not to put it in. It would of looked nice, but if anything went wrong I didn't want to have to pull the lamp apart again. After all the technical difficulties I went through, a few blown LED's and spending more money getting the inside housing repainted. I just wanted the car put back together so I could drive her around.

I ened up putting the LED's in various places. The side parking, blinkers and fog light have white LED's in them. It matches the HID's a lot better then the PIAA bulbs. The LED's are installed in a way I can disconnect them easilly and just put regular bulbs back in.

Re: totally badge less now w/painted grill

I'm going to get to the bumper side markers soon. I'm trying to think of a way to nicely light them up with just 2 LED's. I'll probably just use some of the clear plastic I have left from the angel eyes and create something.
