Well, seeing how I got hit and it busted out a turn signal, I figured this time around I would do them how I wanted.

I wanted my turn signals to flow better, and not stand out - thus the reason for not going with clear corners. I also wanted them to look nice, instead of just regular old plastic housings. Thus - what I did...

Take a look... and let me know what you think.

I blacked them out first with some VHT Nite Shades, then I wrapped them in aluminum mesh. Took me a little while to do, but not near as long as the Fog Light Grilles (which I will put in soon and take some pics of - they should flow well with these grilles...) I am going for a clean/industrial look.
These turned out about 20 times better than I expected, and I am very well pleased.

Thanks to Mike - 93Z286Speed for the FREE housings!

AND PLEASE - Excuse the filth of my car - I had to take a half day off of work just to get time to work on these, so needless to say, it's been a while since a wash and wax. Plus the pollen count down south is through the roof...

 

its different...thats for sure. Not sure if i like it that much.

 

Although that probably isn't safe or legal during the day, it looks cool and definately unique.

Where did you get the mesh from ?

 

glad to see my turnsignals go to good use looks good man, i like it

 

For some reason, the movie "Mad Max" comes to mind. Black cars and all that "car armor"...heh looks pretty cool.

did you consider painting the aluminum mesh black? Or are you gonna leave it the natural alum. finish?

 

Looks good I like it

 

you wouldnt notice the black mesh on a blacked out turnsignal on a black car

 

true, true.

 

Exactly...it had crossed my mind, but I like the aluminum look pretty good - I am gonna leave it. Mad Max - heh, I can see where you would get that. Which I don't really mind, I just like them. If it turns out looking like a complete aromored car, then I would have some doubts...

The light shines through pretty well, but I am ordering some 35/5 1157's and some 15w 194's for them (both white)...It isn't as safe as clear corners or the stockers for sure though.

Got the mesh from Lowes...it is actually gutter guard LOL!

Thanks for the compliments guys!

 

I kind of like it. Good idea!

 

Unique idea! Looks nice man, good job!

I really like silver trim on a black car, so I think it looks great the way it is... I wouldn't change a thing.

 

Looks sweet! I like them!!

 

i did that like two weeks ago , i guess great minds think alike, i didnt leave mine silver thought i painted them black, makes it look a lil clearin in my opinion, i shoulda posted pics two weeks ago when i did mine so i woulda gotten credit, i like the silver on yours though and as far as the mesh fog light grills they are tough, just be ready to scratch your paint a lil bit thats what happened to mine, itll look nice when your done i bet ill post pics of mine when i get a chance

 

i like them alot! nice job with them, they look sweet!

 

Once you get those fog light grills on, it will look like an armored car!

They look pretty cool, but not something I would do
