After the mods I have done to my headlights, I do not think these would fit in with the overall theme of the car, but make anything else, I will be purchasing
Thanks and I'll be checking out your car at the next Dragon.. I'll be the one there with a beauty parlor hair dryer cut 4 ways and two Nissan Pathfinder luggage racks formed into a front grill. Squirrel Crusher

Well the LONG shades are gone. Just can't believe how much faster the LONG's sold over the SHORT's. You will like these shorts. Same deal with them. If you don't like'em,send them back. You only loose about $6.00 postage thru US Postal Service to try them out. You will like them. Squirrel Crusher

Can't wait to get them painted and installed.

Don, you've outdone yourself.

Send me a PM so I know where to send the payment.
Thanks Tom.. Those cheap $45.00 eyebrows on E-Bay are actually flat thin CLEAR plastic and the back side is painted with rattle can paint. CrossfireAccessoriesAndMore. A Dan Root company that ripped off many forum members (Including Myself) with the sideskirt group buy. Squirrel Crusher

For some reason, I know you could make a grill from luggage racks and a hair dryer and it would look better than the aftermarket one I have on my car (and if you are making one, just make 2, I can 'test fit' it for you to make sure it will fit the same way in Indiana )

I got mine in the mail today.
Absolutely a high quality product
I will probably have them painted SSB to match my car although the silver brushed aluminum finish looks good already.

Got mine today ...... beautiful ....... already in the paint shop .... check is in the mail. Maaco is charging $75, and will be ready Monday afternoon. I could have bought the urethane rattle can paint and clearcoat from "Express Paint" for about $50, shipped to my door, but I wanted a professional to do this, and saving $25 was not important. I wouldn't have received the paint for about 7 days, and with the weather changing in temp and humidity, I may not have had them painted myself for at least 2 to 3 weeks. Just sayin ..... Great job Squirrel .......

Took mine to Maaco yesterday.
They will prime and paint them with SSB Urethane and then clear coat for $63.45

I'll have them back by Wednesday afternoon.
I'll post pics by the end of next week.

Thanks Squirrel

Looks good, Howard.

I think the rear ones can be used on the fronts, at least the front ones can be used on the rears with a little modifying, look up clear corner markers and many people used the front only ones for both front and rear, maybe with this info you can adapt the OEM rear ones for use in the front

Yeah .... I know John .... but I'd like red in front and red in back. So I need to get a set of red lenses ...... Maybe there's a yellow xFire that would like to trade their "reds" of my "yellows" .....
