2003.5 Custom Fog Light Kit

[www.03msp.com]

Later this afternoon I am going to pick up a new drill. Once I do that, I can cut the holes, use the bench grinder to smooth the edges, then paint them. If all goes well, I can have pictures up tomorrow afternoon of the main product. Then on Tuesday, I can have pictures of the fogs in the main product and attached to the car. It will take less than 15 minutes total to put the assemblies on the car, and then another "x" time for wiring. The electrical is Pilot wiring. With the release of the GEN II kit, I will provide an explicit list of what comes with the kit.

someone make me a fog light kit for my buddyclub 2 kit

 

[www.03msp.com]

Good evening!

It's 7:30PMCST and as promised I am posting a few pictures of the GEN II metal fog light assembly.

Before I do so, let me tell you, after a broken drill, 2 broken drill bits, and major injury to my left index finger (very hard to type right now), I have added up my TOTAL COST on hand crafting these babies as well as adding additional items to the kit. The price is substantially more than I had thought it would be. To make it worth my while, the total hand crafted METAL kit would be $115.00 shipped.

Depending on pricing with the plastic fabricators with the added items, I'm shooting for $90.00 shipped OR LESS.

The following pictures are plated steel, grinded and polished, prepainted. I then apply a four stage process to paint them. I will provide painted pictures tomorrow.

Enjoy, and let me know your feedback.

Looks good.

But I'd still choose plastic. Looks like metal is going to be a pain in the ass ( or fingers ) to do for you. Specially if you get a lot of orders. I'm still hoping the plastic ones have a more smooth and factory cut to them. not dis'n your work above man as you did an awesome job ( I could never do it ) though.

May even be an idea to buy 2 extra plastic things with your kits just in case a rock or something cracks it down the road.

how much of the screw heads are visible once the fog is in place?

Thanks for the compliments.

My finger is down to two bandaids from four and lots of gauze.

Man, I don't look forward to doing another metal set for a while.

It turned out really awesome as you said, but all in all I spent over four hours total making them and much $$$ in materials and I spent an additional $50.00 up front buying two more tools (not including a free replacement drill kit).

The outer four black headed' screw heads is all that will be visible. Though, they match the background trim though.

I will be taking more pictures Tuesday/Wednesday as I put them together and then on the car.

I would prefer to offer plastic as well.

So far, there are *3* choices...

a) The original bracket kit...

b) The GEN II Metal kit...

and

c) Hopefully the GEN II Plastic kit...

Tomorrow I should have final pricing and see where it takes us.

Signing off for now - remember, who can do it custom - I CAN!

Sounds like you have some interest here.

Like I said I'm on it, looks great. Metal or plastic is fine but I'd like a FULL kit.

If you have any problems, I work for a company that does laser cutting. I know we can cut metal, wood, and acrylic (fiberglass), I'm not sure about plastic though. If your interested, send me an email, and I'll see what I can find out for you. I live in Grand Rapids, MI so I don't live very far from Chicago (like 2 hours). If you want some more info, contact me at swimmingweasel@hotmail.com I wish I coulda helped you out more a week or 2 ago, but I just got my car Friday, and just found this place tonight.
