Default Finally added a little Rice!! {Dialup Beware}

I don't know if this enters me into the rice club or not but we'll leave that up to England Green to decide...

I got these corners on eBay from Procarparts.com and they are actually really nice. The fit and finish are perfect and I couldn't be happier. The install is rather straight forward (following SpdKilz's website direction for the police strobe install) and it only took about an hour (I was doing an oil change so the car was already in the air).

Tell me what you all think...

Before


After


Outside


On


Nightshot


Clear Marker



I want to thank Dave (MyVetteDream) for all the info on these babies, and thanks to Greg (Yellohhh) for moral support as he watched me install them in the 95+ degree weather! Guess I'll be doing your's next since I have anorexic arms...

Looks great. Saw these at Bloomington this year and have been considering them ever since.

Did you have to take the front fasica off to install or can you do the install from below?

The cover is actually not polished at all... just a clear piece of plastic!

Well I'm pretty small (5'10", 145 lbs.) so with the car on the Rhino Ramps, I can fit right under there on my back... There were 5 7mm screws holding the access panel on and 3 screws (2 7mm, 1 10mm) and a spring holding in the light assembly... With these removed, it drops out from under the car easily and voila, switch 'em out and you're done...

They really clean up the look of the front...
