Default How to put turn signals into this bumper?

Hi, I wanna get a Blitz Battle Z front bumper for 5th generation Prelude, but the thing doesn't have a place to put the turn signals in. Here is a pic of the bumper:

Now, I definetely need turn signals, so I guess I will have to make a hole on the side or something. Any suggestions or ideas of how to do it right?

I have no problem with people wanting to have different and be their own car...but that kit is the ugliest thing I have ever seen.
Go get a lip kit....RS/OEM/GReddy, save yourself the trouble, sometimes a kit like that may not even fit your car, specially being an ebay kit.
Best of luck buying it, but you may just have to leave the bulbs in the open, like I did on my Wings West Aggressor Type II kit....it had no room for the turn signal housings, so I just zip tied the bulbs to the mesh and had at it from there....didnt look too bad, bit they were out in the open and had to replace them frequently from rocks hitting it

eh, it's not that bad bro, if that's what you want and that's what you like, go for it, but you can't put the turn signals in the same way that guy did?

I don't know why you people hate this front bumper (that's what I'm talking about, just the front!!), but from all the bumpers I looked, this one looks the nicest. I just wanna get some ideas for how to get those turn signals on the bumper. Would it be too hard to make a hole on the bumper side, glue some kind of a holder for the signals and just screw the signal onto it?

you could do 2 things. one use a dremel, as i said above, and cut out yourself a clean little hole for them to fit snugly in and use some duct tape and some sort of fitting made of abs plastic to mount it...orrr you could go 'jdm' and dril out a hole for some fender markers. and just zip tie some supra markers in the front like that guy did.

kit is not my style, but i'll do my best to help you out. that's what honda-tech should be about. not all this hateration.

my friend used a dremmel to cut a hole in his mugen replica kit, then just used the oem turn signal on the sides.

it looked like he just screwed them in as usual I never looked at the backside, then again he could have caulked it from the back side or used another bonding agent.
