if your lenses are in good shape, I'll take them off your hands when you take 'em out of the car

I dought that they bought those, because in my opinion they don't look that good.

It looks like they just cut the stock FTP lenses up, and then put a piece of wire grate into the back of them. And then had it painted to match the car.

And seeing how you are willing to dish out money for those, I'll make em for you

Well he's going to have to buy lenses to make it look just like that.


Or if he just wants that mesh sh#t stuck in his bumper, he can cut it the same size as the FTP hole, and then pop rivet it on to the bumper.

I just fabbed up a set of those lenses, they don't look quite the same since I only had a smaller guage wire mesh laying around.

And I can't post pictures of it right now (damn MSN) but if I used a bigger gauge mesh it would look and fit better. If there is an interest in muying these things, I'll try fabbing some more up.

Ohhh yeah it took me like 15 minutes, a grinder and a saw zaw. To make ones that go straight back into the stock bolt holes.

actually, those are really diffcult to make. I made a few of those already. It's bondo work. One lense took me about a day to finish. That's pretty sweet looking compared to mine.

I removed mine and replaced them with honeycomb Pontiac grille, looks pretty clean and very OEM. And it only cost $10.
