thanks man. i'm full of surprises.

the fogs actually look cleaner now cause the lip is snug up to the bottom of em now. next week i'm gonna remount them as well. gotta reinforce the honda brackets so i can mount them better.

for those of you wondering why?

1. i deliver pizza on the weekends so now i can take it off for those days. cause the less i have to worry about clearing driveways means more delivery's and more $$$ at the end of the day.

2. canadian winters.


EDIT: the end of the bracket sandwiches the lip top and bottom and the screws are corse thread 1" self tappers.

original idea once again, and it's pretty awesome, congrats on the idea and the execution
canadian winters are a bitch, and it looks like you're in a more rural area, which must be a PITA
hmmm.... i wonder what you're gonna come up with next

A man with your ingenuity shouldn't be delivering pizzas.

PS. my pants still get tight every time I see your fog retro

lol, i'm only delivering pizza till i go back to my fabricating job, which shouldn't be tooo much longer.

plus i work fri-mon open till 7/8 and take home 450-500 for 35ish hrs, so it leaves me time to think up this stuff.


Ghetto; if you wanna drive 1000's of km's up here, well it'd be cheaper just to buy one without holes, lol.

thanks and there's not much info on how to because you'll never find those fog lights

there's threads about all your questions, use the search.

lol, well it's racoon proof apparently. came over a hill to find multiple coons in my path. ripped the driverside clean off the bumper. The rivets gave from the stress and it popped right off, didn't even undo the fastner. just have to hammer out the rivets from the bracket and rivet it back on. rivet, rivet.

rivet.
