Just wondering. Now that my car is back from it's theft death bed. WE
have redone the grill again making it all one piece. It makes the BMW
e-36 lights look almost like they belong in the car. I am going to see
what it would take to use my grill as the model and make a mold to try to
kit the e-36 lights. I am trying to see how many people would be
interested in the kit if I can put it together complete for around $600.
In all fairness, to install the lights, you need to cut out the 2 inner
core supports to clearance for thw wider BMW lights, and there is about a
1 inche deep cut you need to make on the inner fender/engine compartment
joint in order to clearance the outside of the lights. Those are the
only 2 real mods that were made to the car. It will fit with the stock
air box in, I put mine back in for my smog check, but it is a much easier
fit with a p-flo type set up.
I still don't have a final price for the grill mold, so I am just
guessing at the total kit cost, but I thought I would try to find what
kind of interest level there is at the same time.
