whoa, well, as my boss would say, "No good deed goes unpunished"<p>I noticed, in many, many situations, there are 2 types of people<p>1)People that are impatient, want it now. Those people in the end ususally have a long list of complaints about the product as well after they receive it
2)People that will sit back and wait,and wait, and wait, until the product is at its perfection, knowing that perfection takes time.<p>Dont get frustrated, and im positive that you've pleased many, many people, more than people with negative comments.<p>I feel thast i must add something. I was looking into getting a body kit sometime next, er, this year. I was looking at the FX Designs Combat Front bumper, side skits and spoiler. However, i did follow your design of the Protégé bumper. Although i found it really nice for you guys to actually design the bumper, but what blew me away is that you posted picture of the current prototype, got feedback and adjusted accordingly <p>[ January 02, 2003: Message edited by: Nd4SpdSe ]</p>

<hr></blockquote><p>I totally understand production problems but there seems to be a few too many things that weren't delivered. Maybe I will have a better feeling from this GB once mine arrives.

Fog lights are my number one problem.

jcwhitney has some 4" and 6" fogs from $60-120

sounds like onground is playa hatin..
i thought....that they were gonna get the lights...<p>& inserting mesh might not be cost affective.........but the customer is always right....<p>the 1000 buck for the hood is that candian or USA<p>jason

Too bad we designed the holes around the promised 5" lights.

hmmmm
some one needs to rob a mazda dealer
jasonheheheheh
just kidding

In all my searching there are NO 5" fog lights. There are lots of lights out there that are 5", or verrry close to it, but they have a driving pattern light, so that wouldn't work, unless you want it just for looks.<p>Does the hole for the lights on the bumper have room for some modification to 6" ???<p>~A

I would actually prefer driving lights to fog lights. Either way, there are few to choose from and those that are available are pricy.

Well, here is a quick list of what I would use then to fill the hole. Driving lights would give you some pretty good light, but mind you, not as good as they could because of the low mounting.<p>5" Off-Road Jeep Lights<p>Same of above, but different brand and quality (unknown however)<p>Plus I know PIAA has some superb off-road, as well as Hella, driving lights that are in that size range. Ractive makes some driving lights with "halos" too now that I think are that size.<p>For this small of driving light they wont be expensive. Probably looking around $30 (US) to $100 (US) for a pair.<p>Good luck.
