Bumper inserts

Got these cutouts in my bumper for fog-lights whicch I do not have or want.


Also got this hood that was in an accident and was replaced with a new one. I could use it to cover up those holes. It'd be a bit better than normal sheet metal because it's thicker.



Do some measuring:



Do some marking out. Took my time on this. Don't want to cut anything twice.


I'll be using a grinder to cut through this. There's a lot to cut through so I'll be using eye protection (important) and ear protection (hate loud noises).


There it is, all cut out.


Going to use snips to clean it up a little bit.


Looks like it fits in pretty well.


Found little bolts like these. I like them because they're already black and have flat heads so they won't stick out far. I'll use these to hold my insert to the bumper.


A little bit of hole drilling:


Some krylon 'ultra flat black' spray paint to cover up the cuts on the edges:


Looks good to me.
