What metal bracket? Do you mean the ones on the OEM bumper that are already tapped and they also keep it lined up when you mount it by the fenders?

I had the same issue. I fixed it by just using a bolt, two washers, and a self locking nut, instead of the tapped metal bracket. Lines up perfectly, just as if the bracket was there.

Sorry man, not feeling the dark corners but at least there is some real build quality behind them and they aren't cheaply done with a crappy tint or chipped paint.

We didnt do the tint . We did just the custom LED boards , DFC switchback modules and install. Since we use very bright LEDs the tint doesnt take away much from the light output .


BTW the cars coming out beautiful bro . Big improvment from the beginning .

Thanks man! It was my main selling point coming from a crappy looking build to a lot of improvements in a couple months! Haha!

Its all good man! To each his own right!

the04coupe just did the lights and the wiring as well as the modules needed to create the turn signal side markers! An excellent work at that, I might say, and has been fool proof with in depth instructions for installation too!

I had the lights painted at the paint shop doing my body kit! Still gonna need buffing and maybe repainting at the sides though!

Thanks man! I might be installing the lights in a bit! Thanks for the hook up again man! Cant wait to get this running!
