New Fogs are finally in!!

First off i know i'm not a mitsu owner or anything but i love cars in general, that being said, my friend Alex (bvasquez12) asked me if i could make some custom fogs for him. So we tried and it didn't work out, we had bought those cheap fogs you get from autozone and tride to make a custom mold for him , but it was taking too much time and the mold wasn't working out. Since that didn't work out we gave up for a while, but then we started looking at my car( 03 accord coupe) and he noticed we almost have the same side dut only upside down.And we ordered some ebay fogs for an 03-05 accord coupe and we turned the housing upside down and you can sorta get the same shape. so what i did was cut a lot of pieces off and shave a lot of plastic off and also form it into the right shape and sure enough it fits! Mind you this is not the finished product lol. i still need to form it a little bit more so i can make it sit more flush and i also need to paint them. well here are some crappy cell phone pics and we will get some better pics up tomorrow afternoon when we wash our cars
enjoy!







Day pics finally up, since Alex promised the "guys" not too sure what that means lol









and a just for the hell of it shot of the rear

Looks nice! Can't wait to see the daytime pics.

I had a similar idea but I was going to take Honda Civic (EK) foglights and fit them into the center section of the front bumper. Only problem is that I've been too lazy to buy the foglights from ebay, take my bumper off, cut up the grill, make a custom mount, figure out the wiring, install the switch, etc. Basically I've been too lazy to do anything. But it's the thought that counts, right?

i waited sSOoo long to get them in! we started with some cheap autozone lights but i just wasnt satisfied. And then i ordered the accord fogs from ebay and they sent me the accord sedan lights so i sent them back. and ordered some from k2motors. THen with myluck. they sent me the same wrong ones, lol in other words the sedan fogs. so i sent them back and FINALLY got them back. Then it took jesse and I like 3 late nights to get them just right. I originally wanted hids but i couldnt get them to work, maybe its cuz of the lack of a relay.but the stock bulbs worked fine so i just tinted the lense yellow. Ill try and put some more pics up on wednesday.
