I'm not sure my liver is up to that one.

I do some of my best thinking drunk too. The problem is I can't remember the idea the next morning.

And you don't want to record anything, because "they" consider it evidence.

Those pics lead me to think this might actually look great! Which sucks cuz now the Rabbit Hole beckons.

Gotta retain that chrome bezel. Might need to trim into the grill but nbd since its plastic and easily replaced.

Take your lights over to the Dark Side!

Oh the chrome stays don't you worry about that. Yeah I didn't really want to but looks like I'll need to trim into the grill 1" maybe a shade more. The core support will need clearanced some for the inner bulbs, but what I'm seeing it's not going to be in the vicinity of any structural support or bracketry. My goal is to leave all the factory light mounting points intact just in case it ever has to be undone.

Glad to see we're all enabling your drinking problem. This is such a neat project. Who'da thunk it? 20 year old+ truck and FTE members still coming up with innovative mods.

This girl's an E99 production date 9/98. She's creeping up on 24, so truthfully I'm just thankful she's not barefoot and pregnant. I am stoked at how things are coming together so far, but the easy part is almost done. Fit and finish is going to be when the real fun starts.
