New style bumper skid plate and hood scoop

Ups dropped my rear 2" lights off and I hooked one up to 12v to take a picture. Nice thing is they are hard wired and sealed.

Ok,since I got my rear lights and had time between coats of tooling gel. I decided to smoke my tail lights and install my new lights.

Here's the pics.

Great work. I'd like to do the 2" tailight mod, would you list where you got them and the part number, please? I am concerned, though, does this leave any reflectors out back; are there any reflectors in the tailights? For that matter, are there any reflectors in the front? The only ones I can think of are the two red in the rear and the front side turn signals have a little reflective spot.

I for one, am very interested in your skid plate (sic). I drive 30 min. early in the morning and I often drive through thick fog. I would love to be able tastefully mount fog lights down low where they are most effective. Keep up the good work and keep us posted, thanks.

On another point, if I ever rear ended someone with smoked tailights I would make it an issue in my defense. I have tinted my side lights, but opted not to tint rears for safety reasons, and I just don't want to give anyone an excuse after hitting me. I did change my amber turns to red, thinking this was enough of a tailight mod. I would like to do spider light bulbs, though they are expensive.

I purchased the 2" red tunnel lights from towmart, here's the link:

I used 2" trucklite rubber grommets that I had on stock. But, you can get them at Napa.
I wanted the lights to be flush with the edge of the grommet so I had to cut out the little 1/4" nubs to let the light slide to the very bottom of the grommet. With the nubs intact it seated the light a 1/4" passed the face.
Then I used a 2.25" hole saw from lowes to cut the hole in the bumper cover after I removed the original reflectors.
I have another Vx to do this mod to and I'll a detailed "how to".
As far as reflectors in the front, there is only the round parking light which i'm replacing them with the 2.5" ambers.

Update on the skid plate.
I have two molds that will be finished tomarrow and will be ready to make the plates hopefully later this week "I have to goto the VA hospital thursday" if not, next week for sure.
The plates were made to accept "ONLY" 4" pilot lights and here's a link to see the different types they make and part numbers.

The ones I have are NV-361W. They have a chrome look when off and match the tunnel lights I installed.

So, now the price.
The kit will include the fiberglass skid plate that will be primed and ready to paint ,all stainless steel mounting hardware and your choice of lights installed with cables,relay and switch for $250.00.

If anyone is interested, PM and we can take it from there.
