Chaos7: that looks good, man!
Did you cut your bumper skin to the FTP lenses, or past?
If I was gonna do that (/when I do that) I think I will be cutting the light covers too... so that I cut less bumper, (maybe)

Ohhh ya....thats pretty cool! Did you fab that? Its getting hard to tell on some of these......Also is your safety bumper cut off or gone all together (behind the skin) ...??? I like that though, it looks the easiest to duplicate that I've seen so far without cutting stuff up to much

MAN it was so easy.
Ill do a writeup sometime soon.
Theres a couple pieces that i had to take out.
*The bar that goes across the light when you take the bumperskin off
*part of that metal frame piece on the bumperskin that goes across the area that i cut out (theres 3 pieces)
*mics parts of the bumperskin and metal frame piece

Yes, please, a write-up would be awesome...it looks killer! I see how you can cut away the bumper, and all that, but what about when you cut it, and the edges are all hollow?(know what i mean?) Did you use alot of fiberglass filler to mold the holes?

Humm, interesting..do you have a write up? Or were you just going to make one? I didn;t know if perhaps you got this idea from somewhere else, or did everything from the top of your head...

They only open half way, and are better lighting then the stock sealed beams.
