I had an insert made that was molded into my 93 stock bumper. Take a look and tell me what you think. I can get more inserts made if anyone wants them.

You need a farther away shot, one with the whole car. The idea is a good one (well, cept for the new lights which are being introduced by BananaRE), but from that angle they look too big for the front. But it could just be the angle of that pic.

Nice color by the way

Yeah it's just the angle of the pic, the lights actually looks real good with the stock bumper. My car just came out of the shop after being in there for 2 1/2 months and the color looks unbelievable in person.

Such a pretty face!

I like the '99+ bumper lights, but wasn't a huge fan of the '99 nose's license plate flatspot. Although, if you need a plate up there, it looks better than the brackets.

Maybe some shots from the side, eh?

That looks better than I thought it would..... but maybe slightly higher perhaps ?

How much trouble was it for you/bodyshop to do that? Did it include a lot of bondo-molding & shaping?

I've always wondered what that would look like, and it looks great.

New Light Inserts

Bucrx7 ...very, very nice. you say that's into a stock bumper? By the way, do you know where to look to change the popup headlights to the fixed version? I new here and didn't know where to look for this info.

Cheers,

Thanks for the replies guys. I don't have a pic of the insert because it's on my car now. I can get more inserts made if you guys want them. Mine was expensive because mine was the first one made. It should be cheaper now because they have the mold already. The inserts are very solid fiberglass. What the shop needs to do is enlarge your hole where the 93 lights were and bond the insert into the bumper.
