the rectangular ones look better then the round ones but it does make it look a little busy.

I'm not really digging any of the fog lights, I think they break up the already simple front end.

Im with big daddy kane... i think with the fog lights it looks like ur trying to hard it crowds the front end... u should just dress up what you have there because it looks pretty nice already... actually what might look ok is if you got ride of the front plate and put the two round ones close together where the plate goes with that racey type look.. i donno looks ok in my head but i donno if u feel like photo shopping it or if u even want to ditch the front plate...

if you would like to add fogs i would suggest hiding them behind the grill or something.
I might try to get smaller turnsignals (maybe some truck LED markers and use them as blinkers) and then mount foglights next to them in that opening where the huge turn signal is.
now THATS a good idea!

got bored, did a chop...think i figured out how to do it the "right" way



I extended the front valance down another inch or so and mounted the fogs in that black valance...i like it alot...any other opinions?

and yet another one due to the following conversation:
MISFIT1300: I think it would look good if it had fogs like the 85-90 T/A's
ihatericer5hit: i can see that
ihatericer5hit: but
ihatericer5hit: where would he put the turn signals?
MISFIT1300: in a perfect world, they would be right under the headlights. the area where they used to be would be not as wide and thats where the fogs would go
MISFIT1300: but thats entirely too much work for fog lights



I think it came out amazing...opinions?

nice. thats pretty much exactly how I pictured it.

too bad all the fabrication it would take to make that happen wouldnt really be worth it.

that would be way too much fabrication work. right there now you have to get into cutting the impact bar and doing major reshaping of the front bumper cover, which isnt the easiest task, and then repainting it, trying to match it to the rest of the car etc.

lemme see if i can do a chop of my own....

All the ones with square/rectangular lights look better than the round ones.

I'm fully aware that its entirely too much work to make my idea happen, I just wanted to see what it would look like.

j0n, you have done some amazing chops my friend! I like some of those ideas. Paul's is definitely the easiest thing for me to do, need to get the tape measure out. Anyone parting a 91/92 TA?

j0n, real nice job on them.

Steve, save those pics in case you win a few bucks in AC or in the lottery one of these days. That would be a fun project and would really be a nice way to separate your car from any others on the road.....

OK, bringing this back from the dead because I have whipped up one more pic. This one recesses the foglights with the help of 4th-gen T/A bezels. How's this one look?
