Pictures as requested!





As you can see, up close you can see my less than perfect workmanship, but from a distance they look great in my opinion, and it doesn't even take that much distance, only a few feet. I got first in class at my latest car show so I don't think they look too bad at all

Hey thanks for sharing, it looks great actually. Do you remember what material you used? Does it have a texture to it, or just smooth?

No problem at all

What I used had a grainy side and then a smooth side, the side I have facing out of the holes is smooth, thought it would likely adhere better to the back of the holes once you rough it up just a little. Next time I run by Lowes I'll try to find out exactly what it was I used, it was in the plumbing department if I remember correctly. Mainly I went in without knowing what I was aiming for though, just went looking for something relatively thick, durable, and plastic to match the composition of the rest of the fascia.

I would guess that any form of roof type, thick flashing or plumbing seals should do the trick. I aimed for about a thickness of maybe 1/8 inch.

Thanks again, I will drop by and see what I can find as well.

I dont think this is legal,to run all six at once.

I think the number is state dependent, "facacc" said the number in Ohio is 5 lights. I will check with a cop buddy of mine to see if NC has a light limit.

It does depend on the state that you live in.

I vote for getting rid of the grille fogs altogether.

North Carolina General Statute (NCGS 23-130B) says you can have as many "auxiliary lights" as you want, but you can only burn two of them at a time in addition to the headlights. Still undecided, wheels first, fascia later.

As always, I do appreciate all of the input, opinions, etc. This is a great group.

I added some small lights behind the grill on my CS and stuck a switch under the hood for maintenance purposes. It activates a relay which then powers the lights. They are on when the car is running as a daytime running light type with the stock lights still as the factory system is setup. I run all six at night and have yet to be questioned in Fl.

You could also use the fog, high beam, or low beam power to activate a relay to power the lights when either one was on.
