    Interest in a rally/driving light bracket for E30's?

    would their be any interest in a nice welded driving rally light bar/bracket? it would attach to the licence plate holes and probably have some attachment to the grills lower mounting point. It would allow you to still run a front plate. I'm going to make one pretty soon and wouldn't mind making a few extras.

            depends on the price, but I wouldn't mind having it.

              I think the license plate holes will be strong enough to hold rally lights on.

                I think there is a metal bar in front of those lights.

                OP:
                I like it.

                  I dig it, been looking at one or two people doing this and thinking "that would look awesome and stupid at the same time but I really like it"

                  What would you ask pricing-wise?

                    I've been thinking about this, but was going to mount them lower in the original fog position. Subscribed. I think the round fogs look way better, good idea.

                      Driving lights should be mounted higher up for better distance. The round lights that I've seen mounted in stock diving board fog location have looked heinous, but I haven't seen too many.

                        Yes. I would like a set for sure. Would prefer a design like the white car but would do a design like the red car.

                          I was thinking about fabbing some buckets into the late model locations, not the early model locations, so kinda wider apart. Inspiration was this bug eyed subie I used to pass every time I grabbed pizza. But yeah mounting them higher would be wiser.

                            I'm still working on a design, I'm getting some metal in the next few days to make a prototype, I'm not sure the license plate area would be strong enough by itself,and I wouldn't want it flexing around damaging paint, I will try to get little struts that bolt to the grill to make it very sturdy, I'm also trying to keep it slim and not bulky, the white car looks cool, but I'm trying to get something sleeker. I'm going to be test mounting it with some hella 500 lights. I'll get a bunch of flat,round,square and rods of metal and think of something. price would be cheap-ish.
