    I would prefer a flat bar, would look less intrusive.

      I like the first design, individual bar for each light coming from the bumper bolts

          well I kind of started today, I'm trying a round bar first because I had one laying around and its the right length and looks pretty nice. I got some measurements and I'm going to need to by a piece to go where the plate holes are, it will look pretty tough when its done, I didn't realize how far apart the license plate holes were until I actually tried making the bar.

            well here's something a little more similar to how it will turn out, I'm about 80% sure I'll add the support struts.

            my lights should be here tomorrow so I can get a test fit hopefully.

                This looks pretty good, I might be interested in one of these. I prefer that^^ setup over the other imo.

                  I'd think it'd look better if the lights were infront of the bumper instead of above it.

                      I think it would look cooler it it was 4 lights. 2 on each side, and one on top of the other.

                          pics... just the bar done for now, but everything is going to plan and its looking great so far, I held it up to the front of the car and loved how it looked. This is made out of metal I already had so I don't remember how much I paid for the metal but when I get more metal I'll let you guys know how much it will cost.




                          of course I can make a few different designs but the round bar will work the best and can fit the biggest variety of lights.
                          right now its pretty light weight

                            I think pop in endcaps would work out well, and also, maybe take the wiring thru the tube to a small harness connector with some loom on it into a small section of wire to connect via the aux power fuse and a switch, unless you already thought of that.

                              If you drive your e30 on stairs, you're gonna have a bad time.

                                yeah, I'm still working on wiring but the lights included tons of wires,fuses,connectors, and even a nice little on and off switch.
                                .....pull wiring through support bar so its invisible?

                                I'm more than willing to include lights with the bar because I live very close to summit racing and they deliver within 24hours to my house.
