    This too:




    But seriously, good stuff. I may have to make one for myself that brings the lights back closer to the grille.

    Remember Tom Green's undercutter's pizza? Well I'm going to undercut your price on these since I get free materials.

            For me personally I am looking for something I can leave on and have it installed semi permanent. Having a FIA WRC style rally light system I wouldn't really want to drive around with that on the front of my car.

            If I am going camping @ The Dragon with E30 friends I would install it but most of the time it would be sitting in the garage.

              Well I finished it today, it looked great but then.....I opened the hood, and its way to close to open it. So I'm making a new design that sits a little lower and is adjustable so its always sitting straight.I wasted my day.

                I'd think it'd be a good idea to put the lights in front of the bumper instead of in front of the grill to avoid that sort of issue entirely.

                          sure? it might hit the hood though, it was just a prototype, it needs some paint, It was the bracket I was going to use on my car, on my car it had like 2mm of clearance and it wasn't fully tightened(so in the end it would be less clearance. I'm making one out of some smaller round tubing, and its going to be not so bulky looking without sacrificing strength, it will have 4 attaching points so it should be sturdy with out putting to much stress on the car.

                            uploading pics of installed now, definitely getting the black covers on it(the ones that say hella 500). I just revised the first design, just a prototype in the picture.

                              please ignore all the dirt.





                              clears the hood by a good 1/4"
                              its super beefy and tough, but probably only weighs 2-3lbs with out lights.
