    I would like to see the final grille assembly with the 4 hella lights. I have 2 hella 700's behind my grillcraft grille and I really couldn't see squeezing that 4th in there...might be a little tight and or funny looking. 2 Hella 700's look good in there and maybe even a 3rd, but a 4th?.

    Also, does that "V" bracing visually stick out? Looks like it wouldn't be too bad if powder coated. A "T" bracing I think would integrate more smooth visually with that original radiator brace. If anything, I will just run some red LED's on the "V" bracing and drive down the road with a crazy fast and furious rice burner look! [​IMG]

    I still think they look damn good!!

    OK REVISION 2 it will now be tig welded i changed the height adjustment so it can go higher. And you can see the fitment is much better around the latch

    Would still be nice to see an option to push them closer to the grille. Would allow clearance for the large backs on the Kragen HIDs as well as have them sitting closer to the grille. I think it looks better with the lights closer to the grille with the grille craft grilles.

    How much work to make the light holes slots so that the lights can be slid forward and back dependent on size of light or Toshi grills?

    Love it!

    Originaly i did not want to make it weak but after building one I think i may do that as well as make the holes slightly larger so it will work with other light mounts
