Homemade Foglight covers.

[Luis 89LXi]

I made some fog ligth covers of fiberglass for my coupe and my g/f 4-door.
Those are some pics on the progrees and the final product, sorry about the paint on both cars. the bumper on my coupe is realy bad, its all busted out but you could get the idea on how the cover looks.


Covers on both cars are same, made by homemade moldings. Focus on the covers, forget about the crappy paint and bumpers

:jaw: :jaw: :jaw: :jaw: :jaw: :cool: :rockon:

Hell yeah, man, major freakin props i havnt seen somthing this good in a long time. Are you going to sell some? is be more than willing to buy some in a few weeks.....

[88accordhb]

you...are...skilled. looks damn good!

[Luis 89LXi]

thank you man.

cordalltheway: If you're serius i could make a set for sale, i will be going to U.S. in a couple weeks so i can get them shipped.

Luis

[BDaccordguy]

now that looks HOT! major props to you.

[danronian]

Awesome Job! I usually don't like non-stock looking things in the fog light holes but those look awesome!

[accordlxi2.0]

and how mold or created the holes look like they would direct cool air to the brakes...

[frankie89]

nice work !! how much 4 a set!! im willing 2 buy also!!

[mesdeir]

Cooollllllllllllllllllllllll.......nice work buddy... :banghead: keep on update

[sporkHSP]

if I swap the 88-89 bumper on (which is sitting in my trunk/backseat) i would want a set too, just let me know if you wanna make more, or if not, then PM me with the plans and possibly pics of the process if you could, but I will let you get paid for those before I steal the plans... that does give me an idea for the 87 bumper ones tho... hmmm.
edit, with those and a lip, it would look like a body kit up front... I'm definatly gunna swap bumpers and buy some of those off of you if you are selling.

[Luis 89LXi]

Hey Spork i didnt have plans for those covers. i just make the moldings i dont know how; but i liked when they were finished (after 5 moldings on try and error)

If you or other guys on the forum are realy interested and I MEAN REALY INTERESTED i could make more sets, fully done and primered ready to paint.

How sounds $25 bucks for a set shipped whitin U.S. you gotta wait about 2 weeks until i go to U.S. to get them shipped. Shipping from Mexico will be killer.

PM me if interested.

Luis

[88accordalltheway]

pm sent....
the more i look at thses, the more i like them....wow!

[2drSE-i]

[blazin3gen]

[Hash_man_Se_i]

Hahah wow, you've already got quite a few people in line, and damn i can see why. Those are really nice man, I'm quite impressed, good work.

[88accordhb]

luis, looks like you got a little business goin on hehe. if i had the 88-89 coupe bumper i'd order a set soon.

[kennyaccordlxi]

looks nice

[Luis 89LXi]

Come on CT change your bumper and get a set.

I could make a set fully done sanded and primered ready to be paint.

PM me if interested.

[3gn86lxi]

how bout some for 86-87 bumpers luis??
I'd want some for sure! :)

[Jay's89Lxi]

They look good man,they add a nice touch to the stock bumper.

[Busted_Blue]

really nice...definitely looks good to draw air into the side where all of us with CAI locate the air filter... Hmm...

[BlueBead]

NICE! man.... its like xmas for guys wanting 88/89 bumper inserts!

[hondamotorz]

since you know how to make them you wanna make me a pair ?? lol jk man

[Robs89LXi]

Very nice work; real professional looking. Very reasonable price too. I'm more than willing to support those that make good stuff for our cars. PM sent.

you wouldnt be able to see them on the 87 bumper, you would need something that comes out from the hole instead. just my opinion...

If anyone wants to do this, I have a BRAND NEW 88-89 bumper and mounting hardware (no fog covers, and no corner lights...) that I bought for the hatch.... I dont need it, and it would just mean that I have to do paint if I want it on my car. I would be willing to sell it all for 200 shipped, that is what i paid for the parts and shipping.
If noone speaks now, I will be buying a set of these and we will see if i sell after I have these sweet fogcovers...

[Luis 89LXi]

Thank you all the compliements left for me. I will start this production. went to the paint shop this morning to get enought material.

if youre insterested PM me. Thank you guys i will try to do my best.

one word of advise: dont make a bunch of them in hopes you'll sell them. I'd suggest you only make as many as you have the money for, or make a couple sets, and if people come through make a couple more. A lot of people say they want it and have money for it, but when push comes to shove, nobody has the money and you've wasted your time.

By all means make them, just dont make too many in case most people back out (which usually happens around here).

definitely makes sense..and also put a price range on how much it would cost to buy. You really need to make on order here not have many available.

[2drSE-i]

he said around $25 US (i think)

[2drSE-i]

but yea, they look awesome!

[Cheeseburger]

daaaaaaaaaaam those are bad ass

[HostileJava]

I'm interested in a set as well, I have some fogs in there now, but there not the greatest. I'll be pming you.

[Luis 89LXi]

Thank you guys i will make a new thread on Market Section whit detailed info.

you and bullard are very creative as far as body parts go.


and bullard...when i get my lxi coupe in a couple of years, i'll pay you to make me the red/white tails man...that you can count on.

[NXRacer]

one thought luis, you should see if you could make them so you could put fog lights in the holes. kind of like the "jdm" fogs for the civics and stuff. It would be nice to have a clean looking fog light housing for that spot for aftermarket fogs.

[Dr._8t9LX]

Copy Cat!! Just kidding, those look good....gotta finish mine now...:)

[Luis 89LXi]

Copy Cat!! Just kidding, those look good....gotta finish mine now...:)

Those are for the public domain, you could take the idea and make it better. Yours are pretty cool man, i almost use the same process over and over until i made a set that like to me.

Luis

[Dr._8t9LX]

Ya, It ain't easy easy it! :) Takes a few trys to get the mold right. I like your intake style. There is an older BMW on my block with the same style intake under the bumper and I was thinking about the same type of inlet holes when I make a lower lip spoiler for my 3Gee...

Glad to see you selling yours.....

[88accordalltheway]

i love the old ways of bartering....im trading him 3geez shirts for a pair of them shits, lol!!!

[HondaBoy]

man luis, you did a hell of a good job! i really should start doing some fiberglass work. i'd like to get good at doing stuff like that.

[88accordalltheway]

Came in the other day, im damn proud of luis!!!
Im going to get a new front bumper soon because i dont like the one i have, so im going to get it all painted at the same time. Cool Beans.

sorry about the ginormous pics

[HostileJava]

I need to get the pics of mine, I took some wednesday but they didn't come out good. Maybe tomorrow I'll try to snap some more.

[88accordhb]

your drive way is huge kevin.

[mykwikcoupe]

so since you have seem to have nothing but rave revues i guess the questionability to quality is out. Ive purchased a few sets of the stock foglight covers only to have them lost. How do yours mount in a way to better this problem. If your still making them you may have a few more sets to fab. mike

[88accordalltheway]

your drive way is huge kevin.
yup, and i love every square inch because its all nice and flat!!

Um, these ones really dont mount, in the pics i took, there just sitting in there.
Luis game be a thing of this tacky stuff that is really sticky, ill use it later i guess.

[w00tw00t111]

Those look great!!! I always like seeing parts being homemade out of fiberglass!

[Luis 89LXi]

I workin a little more on the bumpers:

Luis

[SQ is the SQUAD]

bondoyou should put a 4th gen accord ex lip on that bumper but mod the lip to match the curves

[w00tw00t111]

Do you paint your self? If so what brand do you use?
