More pics and details on the way.
Here's the appetizer. New 97+ front and blacked out headlights

Looks good man. Did you simply cut the grill from the bottom of the 97 bumper? You can find a good deal on the upper chrome grill lately. I found a brand new one the other day for $60 shipped!

Too bad the fogs still go for a redonkulous amount. $200+ for 14 year old plastic...F' that!



Then again, we're the idiots who pay that much and treat this crap like gold.

Thank you

Ya I just cut it out. Actually I have the oem grill but I put black aluminium mesh in there instead and I actually think it looks much better. Ill take some better pics so you can see how it looks.
I have a set of blazer fogs that I'm really tempted to just build a housing for out of acrylic instead of buying some oem fogs, cause not only are they expensive bit they're hard as hell to find.

Thank you. Since my retrofitted projectors are bi-xenon I was able to paint the entire high beam light black.

The headlights are different but look very unique installed in there. Love the color red.

I know the foglights are going back in eventually, but it looks mean right now as it stands. Very nice.

I want to black out my head lights as well but I notice when they're blacked out , the corners of the low beams have a white spot. Is there anything that can be done to prevent this ?
