Dare I risk getting excited about this? I'm not sure I have the stomach for it anymore.

I'll be providing pictures and an update tomorrow. Test-fit went very well. The buckets fit better than the originals so I'm very happy with how things have turned out.

As I mentioned to another member, we'll be selling these as "base-kits" initially which will include the headlight buckets, brackets, and hardware. Lighting is still being debated so we'd like to offer these up for sale in case people are willing/able to source their own lighting.

Coming today. Sorry, I uploaded some other pics at a friends house and left my flash card there. Picking it up today so I anticipate posting pictures today. I'll also be scheduling the return of these this week so hopefully have another update in regards to when we can start production, etc. Should be very soon. Thanks!

Thumbs up

Pictures of the test fitment below. We had already test fit the d-side finished product a few months back and it fit without issue. The pictures below are just to illustrate how well these fit. I'll be speaking with the fabricators in a couple days so hope to have some additional news regarding production time-lines and final pricing soon.










Thanks,
-Rizwan

Good to know. These are my spare rims until I'm ready for bodywork/painting.

Looking great Riz, Thank you for sticking with this project. Are the housing brackets attached via fasteners or molded as a one piece design? Do you also know the inner diameters of the light openings? I'm thinking of mounting pencil beam projectors in the inner openings and utilizing the larger openings for turbo ducting. Any idea on how much these will be selling for?

so looking forward to all the amazing new headlight designs being made available, these might be my favorite. Are you gonna have to cut into the bumper at all with these? IIRC the orignals you had to.

Looking good Str8yrd. Fitment is clean, and it doesn't look like you have to trim the bumper much, if at all.. Cant wait for the first production run and to hear about pricing. Keep up the great work bud.

Don't let the angle of the pics fool ya, there will be trimming required to fit the bumper. Not that big of a deal. Any paint/body shop can reverse the process should you want to go back to stock.

My semi-completed motor setup. Finishing up some custom pieces at the moment. Hoping to have it running soon.

Thanks! I'm actually very pleased with this hood. Didn't think I'd like it as much as I do.

Yup, still being made. These might be released a little after the initial sale, but we're working on them currently.

Good to hear that you like them . The brackets are attached via fasteners separate of the buckets. I can let you know the inner dimensions shortly.

The price I'll have hopefully this week or next.

You'll still have to cut into the bumper. We tried playing around with the design to not have to cut, but the shape of the lights and design ends up looking completely different. IMO loses a lot of the appeal so we're keeping them as-is.
