Custom mesh grill(fog lights behind upper grill)56K beware!
 
I got tired of that ugly plastic upper and lower grill, so I custom fitted and installed these:
As you can see, I installed after market fog lights behind the upper grill:

Here's a side view:

All lights on with some sun light out:

Hey, (i'm writing from my gf's username) But i just wanna say that i think your setup is hella sweet. How do the lights not interfere with anything behind them, and how well do they illuminate through the mesh?
How did you get that installed too, my gf wants fog lights and if i can copy your setup, we might save some money on it.

ummmm... looks good, but i think the fog lights would look a hell of a lot better on the lower grill.

Where did u get the mesh from? What is actually holdin it in place? Is there a walkthrough on making a custom grill?

Can we get a shot of the beam pattern? i.e. night pic, shot of how the beams look on a wall?

DTRUONG_112 06-08-2005 06:39 PM

Looks good , but I think I agree with the others and you should have put them in the lower grill , but good job though

Thanks, I'll post pics of behind the grill so you can see how they don't interfere with anything. They illuminate just fine, the mesh does not interfere with the beam at all. I'll post a "how to" when I get a chance hopefully tonight. Just to let you know I got one grill at pep boys(33 bucks) and the other at auto zone(16.99) the fog lights I got at walmart(about 22 bucks)

Thanks, thats where I was going to put them at first, but then I started thinking about the new mustangs and I decided to try this out.
