Day 12
I finished my bumper modification and shallow fogs lights.
Here is how much I took off.
Next I use the fog light bracket for a straight edge and mark parallel to the back of the fog two center lines. This is where the main bolt will line up later on and I want it to be straight.
I cut off the bumper edge and then cut the back off the fog light housing.
Here is the new mounting solution I used for these new fog lights. They are pretty thin like hockey pucks. They are brighter than the factory OEM fogs and thin, so that my wheel won't touch them.
Here is the fog lights from the front with the covers.
Finally finished my inner wheel plastic. My old ones had holes rubbed in the front from the wheel touching, so I got some replacements.
On my front bumper, I took the pieces and bondoed it back inside so I would have a trim piece to mount the liner to. I also used a cutting wheel and trimmed the back pinch seam down to the spot weld, then hammered the pinch seam over in the thinner areas. In the front wheel well, I trimmed off some of upper metal as well, to the bolt stud. Relocated my horns and the washer bottle. It may not look much different (but that was the goal, to gain clearance while retaining the stock wheel plastic liners)... so all the high metal points that the tire would normally touch while flexing have been removed. Three new holes have been drilled on each side for repositioning the plastic liner and it fits further up into the fender. Now she is all back together.
Final result was new wheel plastic and a larger opening for flexing my 31" tires
