The picture speaks for itself.
![]() Yeah, you don't wanna be like me because you'll end up with a horribly ugly car. ![]() The GT-Four vent in the center was coming along fine, but trying to mold '98-'01 Integra turn signals into the bumper didn't go so well. After cutting out the holes for the turn signals and drilling a couple hundred small holes(good thing the pic is so small so you can't see them. ![]() I then realized that the Integra clear corners are far too wide...the back of the turn signal housing hits the aluminum crash-reinforcement bar. I took the bar off temporarily just to see how it could've looked with the turn signals, and the back of the housings still hit the frame where the reinforcement bar bolts to. So now I'm temporarily driving around with two large cutouts surrounded by hundreds of tiny holes, and a bit cutout in the center with some fiberglass hanging back from it. Then the turn signal bulbs are zip-tied through a couple of the holes I drilled to hold them in place. It looks really bad, and probably will for a while until I can get a stock front bumper painted and put on there. Oh well, at least its a lesson to always measure before you start cutting and drilling...I didn't even think about the fact that the turn signals might hit the frame. -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

I think I'll try doing the same thing with the signal holes that I'm doing with the GT-Four-style vent, and then mold the turn signals below if I like the way the vents look. When my car decided to blow the car's fuse on the battery last night and I was stuck staring at it waiting for help, I thought it looked good with the holes there in low light, so I figure I'll try out the vents idea and see how I like it. ![]() -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...
