Default Custom Bumper Question

I am buliding my own stubby... I wanted to know if anyone has any tips on how to mount the stock fog lights in the bumper. I heard in a past thread (that i cant find now) that he used 2" tubeing for the housing.. any advice?

You will have to go back and measure your foglights but I believe it's 3" tubing.

Here's a quick way to do it.

1. build the bumper
2. find the spot on the bumper you want the fog lights(make sure there's plenty of room behind the bumper for them)
3. Get the tubing, place it on the bumper where you want the fogs. trace around the tubing on the bumper.
4. Cut the traced out holes on the bumper.
5. fit the fog lights in the tubing, cut the tubing to the proper length.
6. weld tabs on the tubing where the fog lights would screw into.
7. weld the tubing onto the bumper.
8. Grind the welds down/smoothing everything out, on the side that people see
9. Paint
10. Install foglights
11. Install bumper

Hope this makes sense and you follow.
Good luck

You might want to get rid of that odd D35 front end listed in your green sig section...as you probably have a D30.
