Mad USDM bumper conversion
I haz it! Got myself a rear bumper trim and bumper lights from some Toyota since I'm going for all amber lights vs JDM being white/amber. I feel bad for chopping my bumper and going for USDM look while you guys would kill to get your hands on my bumper LOL.
All amber bumper lights

Painted the housing black for the darker look. IDK if I like it or not.

Added T10 bulb for parking lights. I stole the socket from cluster bulb sockets I had lying around and modded them to fit the wires and epoxied them to the housing.

Brackets/trim I fabricated from.... old computer case. I'm utilizing the lights mounting point. I'll get more pics of the process later. And yes, they will be painted.

Done so far. I'll continue on the right side once my lower back feels better

Re: Mad USDM bumper conversion

Cool!
So, that 3rd gen is blue huh?
If you plan to go to the yard again soon, I would need some stuff!
Re: Mad USDM bumper conversion
Nice! :D
oh, and how much for the climate control?
Re: Mad USDM bumper conversion
Looking good man!
Hazwan, you need money, now you have your chance to make some money! :) Check out that demand! That 2gee have any good stuff like Digi Dash? :D Looks like it was still a CVCC motor even. I spy black boxes!
Re: Mad USDM bumper conversion
This sir is sex. Those ambers are just pure win, glad you went with USDM :D
Re: Mad USDM bumper conversion
I guess I should go back and ask for the price haha. I was being stupid not to ask them >.<
Re: Mad USDM bumper conversion
:( Next time you go to the junkyard buy one of these JDM bumpers, just in case you regret the mod later.
Re: Mad USDM bumper conversion
You really hate that bumper dont you :p
Re: Mad USDM bumper conversion
I dont hate it, i just like the JDM more :( both are ok, but not perfect.
Re: Mad USDM bumper conversion
If you buy that 3gee climate control, I'll pay you mad cash for it. :D What's the lower center console of that same car? Equalizer?

Keep in mind we never have amber side marker/front bumper lights as parking lights. Just small white light near the turn signal. And its illegal too :p
Can't wait to get myself the USDM side markers!
Re: Mad USDM bumper conversion
I think I shall cry. Those ambers are sex *drool* haha please it's not illegal your signals got *stuck*
Re: Mad USDM bumper conversion
Your car does look great Hazwan. The UDSM bumpers don't detract at all. However, I don't think you realize how HUGE the USDM sidemarkers are!! :)
Re: Mad USDM bumper conversion
Your car looks AWESOME dude, and different for sure. Nice work.:bow:
Re: Mad USDM bumper conversion
Oh also if you really wanna be USDM, don't forget the USDM hood man. :tongue:

Re: Mad USDM bumper conversion
No don't do the USDM hood, whatever you do. Your hood looks way better. :D

Thats completely right my friend, JDM hoods looks better. :)
Re: Mad USDM bumper conversion
I think it look awesome like that Haz. What's the attraction to USDM sidemarkers; I'm guessing the lower profile?
