Its not finished quite yet nor it it quite legal yet. Its all wired up an fitted properly. The blinkers blink rite and they fit good. I had them on under water and they dont leak. They look great IMO. Im putting marker diodes that are 3/4" round in the out side corners then it will be road legal. I also have to finsh some more body work, I built some really stealthy eye lashes for it. Ill get more pictures in the morning when its light out but I just finished this so I had to show everyone.

DONE! Well kinda. Looks like Im going to have to wait till spring to finish up the bumper cover and impact bar cover. i got some real trick ideas for them that I will share when I can get to them. I got the grille completed though. The wiring on the back all looks real smooth. I found some H13 male plugs and wired them up so they just plug into the stock harness. Someone suggested to me just busting up a bulb and wiring it to that but I didn't want it looking all hacked up. I made a bracket on the back side that holds all the electronics. Its a real plug and play. Every LED is replaceable too. The color is black to match but then the side has a slight curve in it and a hatch then a solid color. The non black color is actually 1968 comaro green. A very rare color for that year. It really only shows up when light is hitting it a certain way. The technique is called ghosting. It is then finished with a candy black clear to give it more shadow. You can see in the pictures how it gleams at certain angles but looks all one color at other angles.



ENJOY!

PLUG

4 10mm bolts.

2 in front that you can see

2 on the back that you can see in the corners with the hood up. Then all you to is yank the sides off, they are held on with just clips.
