New lights and Grill What a difference!!

Got rid of the old faded lights and cheap grill for some new ones.

Looks good, it's amazing what a little change can do to a car's appearance.

Like you, I installed new gm parking lights and after about 1000 miles both of them are cracked to hell. Did I do something wrong in the installation? I know nothing on the road hit them. I'm pissed

I also have an RS and I put a Z-28 grille in mine too. It does make a difference. It makes an even bigger difference when you add foglights and some of the hood blisters that hawksthirdgen makes for the RS hoods. I do need some new parking lights though.

Jimmyj2000,

Did you put the hood blisters on your stock rs hood? If so, can I just buy the iroc hood louvers and install them on my stock 88 sport coupe? Also, where did you find the fog lights and brackets as I would like to do the same thing.

Thanks guys. 88ragtop, the hood blisters are aftermarket pieces from hawksthirdgenparts. They are especially made for the flat RS hoods. As far as I know, you cannot put IROC louvers on our flat hoods. As for the foglights, they are $20 Pilot ones from Wal-Mart. For the brackets, you can go to Home Depot and look in the section with the brackets for building decks and you can find ones that you can make work.

Steve, where did you get those lights? Mine are old and faded and the passenger side has a crack in it.
