rear fogs are big for euro scene, however theyre usually already incorporated into the taillights. this ones interesting.... too big and too "in the middle of nowhere" on the bumper for me. perhaps if it were closer to the plate i think....
but also, if it WERE a rear fog installed on a japan car, it would be installed on the right side of the plate (as rear fogs are meant to be put on the drivers side of the vehicle, so that during heavy fog when it's on, people passing you will see it and not clip you).
so IMO if you were to do this in truer jdm form, the light shoulda been installed on your passenger side (which would be a japan car's driver side).... since you're big on the whole jdm thing and all.
but then it wouldnt make sense here since youre in the US and youre driving on the left of the car on the right of the road... and yeah now either way its kinda outta place to me, and i got dizzy thinking about it lol.

lets hold it right there.....
well.. cool. its a kit.. meant for another car that is put onto yours.. try searching around yahoo auction japan to see if ANY and i say ANY
UA5/4 rear bumper comes with one of those.. or even a kit...
anybody can put something "JDM" from another car on theirs...
but eh.. its you're car.. i think its too much.. got a little too much going on there...

kit this, ment for a different car that. Who cares. Its a light. Once someone starts putting a Kia badge on a TL, then you can kick them in the nuts. I personally wouldnt put that on my TL, and more than likley not on my integra. Its just played out on hondas. Yes, it is more of a european thing, but thats how different manufacturers get their ideas to make better production. Again, my opinion I would have built it into the taillight for a more "stock" look. But everytime I see those lights I think of those kids that try to hard to be "JDM" that they go to ebay and type in their chassis code and buy everything that says JDM in the title. Either or, it doesnt look BAD. Its your car, your style. You fix up a stock car to stand out from the rest. keep doing what your doing.

i love the uniqueness of this mod land i do give him props for doing it.
like i said before, not sure if i would want to cut my bumper to install it thogh. In another thread we got going, we discussed installing an HID kit in the the rear tail housing. It would replace the inner 7443 bulb of the housings and it would be an intense red light on both sides, but using the stock housings. You would be reduced to a single brake/running light on each side but the rear fogs would have its own switch. I think if i wanted to do the rear fog mod, i would go the HID route since I could take it out anytime if I want. With hid kits running around 99 bucks now, it may not be a bad mod to try out if someone really wants rear fogs.
Here is the thread that shows how bright the rear fog could be. I think it would be a clean look once the wires are hidden in the trunk. The poster, Cisko originally had the mod for his reverse lights when i suggested he put a bulb in that section to see what it would look like.

Considering the total amount of my future mods, a NSX isnt that far away.
Night shot, please!

How much Rebar did you have to remove?
Did you mount the bracket on the back to the rebar, i heard that's what the Civic and Integra guys had to do.
Looking good...
