I think the fact that you have a function for them is what does it. Just putting it on there for a DD car or something wouldn't make much sense, at least to me, but because you rally the car and USE it that is what makes it awesome. That and the amount of work, the orginiality and how clean it came out all make it one awesome project.

Thanks man! This car is primarily my DD but I also Autox and am getting into rallyx. If it was just for rally I would just throw on a light bar but I wanted something clean that looked like it belonged there.

this looks awesome and very unique only because you actually do rally events. otherwise it would take away from the clean look of a street evo.

Thanks! I still think it looks clean on the street as well, although it definitely enhances the offroad/rally look.

Thanks so much man! Obviously a mold would have been a lot easier! lol!

I got the light wired up today so they come on with the headlights, both low and high beams (plus an override switch for state inspections). I'll post a picture with the lights on tomorrow.

I think it turned out great! Form and function. Even if you didn't rally it would still have been a cool upgrade to make. Being able to see well at night is always a good thing

Thanks so much man! My thoughts exactly!

Well I got a chance to drive with them on last night, they performed wonderfully! They are quite bright and compliment the headlights nicely. I will try to get some comparison pictures of how they light up the road, with and without the headlights if you anyone is interested. For now I will just leave you with this picture:

Great work man. It's so clean it looks like it could be OEM practically.

To be honest... I like it

Very well done on this. I like the location and how it turned out.

Having done body work my self and this being your first time I think you did a very good job on the fiberglass work

Well done! I think we may see a few other show up on the web soon doing the same to their bumpers or something similar.


Thanks,
Dallin
