Wow.

if you can find/afford it, sum mugen covers (and maybe even bumper) would look smashing.

ya its poly, I took 4 fender washers on each side, dremeled out a quarter pie shape (so it fits on the corners) not enought to cut into the center, but just to wrap around the corner of the lights, and then bolted them to the mesh. Need to move them down though, people in taller cars cant see my turn signal, and I'm gonna relocate the lower outsides to the marker lights next to the headlights (same bulb/socket)

if i can afford it? NO, heck if I could even find 'em...just bought the new car, wife says have to be happy with it for now...I am
