    Suzy gets new blinker grillz

    Havn't been puttering around in the shop much of late, but found a stainless steel basket that I salvaged from a piece of resturaunt equipment (I think) in my stash & decided to try something a little different...

    The hunk of metal from the stash with covers already cut out

    The lenses (thanx Bim) drilled, with nuts epoxied to the back

    And a couple shots of the finished product...

    Nice job dub. Your ingenuity always amazes me. Who else woulda thunk to make turn signal covers out of kitchen equipment but you?

    It's easy to see that Suzy is well loved.

    heh the front of your vx looks like you drove over a chain link fence and pieces of it got stuck in your teeth! looks cool tho

    btw do you have those lower amber lights wired to run w/ the parking lights and your fogs not running with them.. or did you just manage to take a photo of the turn signal flashing?

    WAIT JUST A COTTON PICKIN' MINUTE!! LDUB, I just noticed the shoes on Suzy. Where are her butt kickin', big lugged hiking boots? Are you planning something, or does she just have her winter shoes on?

    Yeah, she is starting to resemble some sort of metal mouth monster or something...

    I replaced the stock clearance markers (fog lights?) with PIAA's & moved the bulb assembly down to the turn siginal. Wasn't too difficult, just a lot of drilling, filing, cutting & test fitting to get it all scrunched in there.

    Thanx to all who gave positive feedback, It's always good to hear that there are still a few out there that don't think I've gone completely off the deep end...

    And yes, those are my winter skins on the stock rims, the road sand & salt really put the dull on my dubs last winter...good eye there Mark.
