    Like the other member with the '95.5 , you've got alot to work with.

    This is what I'd do if I didn't (or for some reason, couldn't)...

    I'd relocate the turn signals as shown & trim the rest of the lower half off...

    Hell no don't call me sir, I don't command that kind of respect ....;)


    Yeah, that 5" or so isn't going to be a big deal for ya, those rectangular lights on your bumper look exactly like the cheap ones I bought at Wal Mart that actually turned out to be a pretty decent find with pretty good illumination, anyway nice job so far , keep it up !!
