Do you perhaps know where they buy the plastic inserts below the lights from?



Hi Uys, these inserts are made taking the shape of the stock plastic bumper as template and copied in fiberglass. They are very thick and I think they've mixed the fiber and resin with black color to avoid color falling off if damaged.

Personally I don's like this insert, another local fabricator does the same piece in 2 or 3mm sheet metal and looks cleaner!

Today I went for my front bar. I bought the "proline" that's similar to the one that Uys took as base for his design.

I want to share some photos with you guys,

I was dissapointed due to the lack of expertise of the guy who installed and the result was the bar is not correctly aligned.., I just told him to leave it like that and in any moment I'll make it sit correctly!

Uys, see how the sheet metal forms the shape between the bar and the light:

Done!
