Default front bumper light re-arrangment (constructive criticism)

Ok i was poking around the front of my xB today.... thinkin of some "different" ways to style up the front of my scion. here what i came up with.... want to know if it's an idea a should try or trash. If i pull this off, may be a lil illegal, but cool looking.

-White out my current stock turning lamps, and replace bulb with H7 (bulb on all the time, running lights)

-Fab up some custom lenses to house a yellow bulb in the current stock fog light position.

-Place rectangular lenses (from pep-boys) in spot of the removible honey comb pop-outs located on each side of the lower grill. There is some kind of bump style support there in the way, so i will have to fab something up, but thats simple.


Ok, YAY or NAY?

sometimes LESS is better

the stock front end looks sweet as is ... no need to mess around with it

ok what would you say about just mounting the fog lamps down on the lower grill... instead of stock location?

I say turn the stock fog light location into functioning scoops -- one for cold air induction and the other, well, just for looks or to serve as the megaphone for a set of decent horns. Or at least replace the plastic blanks with mesh.

Since the fog lights provide hardly any extra light, I was thinking of converting them into blinkers...

Did you ever do any of these ideas?

I think the first two ideas sound okay but I personally would not put the fogs in the lower grille. Sometimes less is more but you do what you like. But post some pics when you are done so we can see how it looks.

I think you should do it man. Nobody else has. The only thing you really need though is lower fogs on the bottom lip, like there other guys are doing.

i'm on my way this week to a company to see if he'll produce them for us. i've contacted a few companies(big names) to see if they'd like to buy the idea off of us but they want some huge proposal and in the meantime nothing happens. I should have a donor bumper in shortly if your interested
