Yeah here are some pics of my tib with the cuda kit on, it is just on there for now but the body shop it going to finish touching things up on it, son worry about the fender on the right, the new one should be here any day now, and the clear corners too, I was wondering if anyone knows where to get the fog lights for this body kit, I have seen pics of a certain kind on the kit the I have and for the same kit on the RD2, it anyone knows where to get them it would be alot of help.

The fog lights aren't made for it anymore.

Another great point of buying from SR/TSR/EF.

Might wanna find some customs.

Looks perty good.

WHOA!!! You're the guy with the rims I didn't like!!! I take it back 100%, all of it back. I really do. I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!!! hail.gif

Great job man! Those rims look SICK. It looks like a very cool job. Good choice kit for the Gen1. I think the Cuda's are the best even though they have a few straight lines but it looks sick. Keep up the good work.

Have that dent/paint taken care of, order new headlights from Kspec and get a CF hood.

is that a 4 or a 5 inch foglight opening? If it is a 4, I think PIAA makes a round fog that should fit.. if it is a 5.. I know Hella does

yeah but do you see the angle that it is, I need something to make the lights face forward, if i just put the lights in they will slightly face outboard.

MOD EDIT- dont double post man

i'm still debating on wether to change the paint color or keep it the same, anyone got a good color that will go with the rims

The Cuda ones came with chrome rings around them to level them out. You could prolly get your shop to make some FG housings for the fogs.

I just had an idea about the gap around the headlights too... You could fit the headlights in place as low as possible, so as to minimise the gap between them & the bumper, then get some FG "Eye-brows" made that actually overlap at the top of the headlight, thus covering the gap between the headlight & the hood/fender. That's probably what I would do, as it would workout cheaper than modifying the bumper.

Easily done.. just have your bodyshop alter the opening some.. make it more like the headlight buckets from the original 240/260/280 Z cars.. all they would need to do is add some more material to the inboard side of the opening, extending it back into the bumper some until the area where the foglight sits is perfectly "flat" with the direction the car is moving in.
