So what exactly are you trying to say here?

When I read those first few lines, all I could think about was that old song by Adam Sandler "Ode to car"

I would go with ABC. They've been around for a respectable amount of years and I've yet to hear a horror story about'em.

"you're a piece of ***** carrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

LOL

My old ABC hood was DECENT quality, but it was definately not as nice as a cervinis....

I've got a Abc Saleen kit good quality and fast shipping, 2 days.

How much prep was involved to ready for paint?

Itkix · Sep 19, 2009

Mine was near perfect just a little sanding to get it ready.

bditty50 · Sep 19, 2009

Glad to hear it. I was worried I wouldn't find decent quality. I was wondering if there is a spot maybe to put some fog lights without looking too weird on the kit?

bditty50 · Sep 20, 2009

Has anyone seen people use foglights with these kits without looking funny? What style do you think would look good?

None. All of them look like an "after thought" to me on saleen's bumpers.

anybody have pics of fogs on one?

ProKiller · Sep 22, 2009

aren't the holes more of a rounded square than circular?

where would u put them?

if you just want to screw a couple fogs onto the bumper like a v6 does on cars that dont have factory fogs then go ahead....wont be that hard to imagine what it'll look like.

Most people want a "factory" look for their fog lights. The only way u can do that if u build a housing based on the openings in the bumper. And even then, you'd have to do both holes IMO to make it look right, which then starts to take on a trans am "horizontal" look with having so many fog lights.

Do you want fog lights for their function or the look?

LOL

takes an exotic looking bumper and makes it look like an autozone special edition IMO

Just a thought, you have foglights from the factory and you have to get rid of them? If it were done in a clean way maybe it would look ok.

turbogt · Sep 22, 2009

Never seen it look ok..

I removed mine anyway, just because my intake sits behind the passenger side one, and it looks meaner..

HID's FTW!!

The Ford designed the mustang to have fog lights from the factory. And on the cobra. Saleen did not design their bumper for this....thats why there arent any there and thats why its an "after thought" 99% of the time and is not clean at all.

Its the design of the bumper, not the simple fact that u have them there. So yes, get rid of them unless u are a good fabricator. The only way i see it attempting to look clean is if u build a housing flush against the back of the bumper so that weird shaped opening becomes the shape of the fog light. But then u have to consider how it will look with just one there on each side and not in both holes....

Either way its your car, do as u please with it. Think about all the other things u want changed and ask yourself if that money invested there would be worth it.
