Removing Bumpers - Front Signal Light Kits?

[VinniedeFiat]

Looking to remove the bumpers on my '81 Spider, but not sure what to do with the front signal lights. Is there a kit to convert them into the holes where the bumper is installed?

[grittracing]

There sure is I sell a kit that uses the outer hole for turn signals and the bumper shock holes I sell a blank plate for. Or you can fill that hole with the small bumperetts. You can look at them on eBay just type in fiat spider turn signals red car silver stripe or send me a private msg with you email address and I will send photos.

I also sell a kit and the lights mount in the bumper shock holes.

Mark, the kits you sell are turn signals as well?

[So Cal Mark]

yes, they are dual filaments just like the original lights

Anyone know of a solution for the rear bumper holes?

[grittracing]

tried a few things even the same as what is on my front but nothing seems to look right. I have a early full length rear bumper coming ( not a two piece like on most spiders ) going to give that a try. i think for the rear end to look correct you need to loose the lip. and delete the holes completely. and change the tail lights some how

So, is there any reason why the lip cannot be removed? I agree about the tail lights. When you gonna come up with something for that?

Here is my pic posting insruction that I have been developing for the general benefit of the Forum. Comments always welcome.

HOW TO POST PICTURES IN FIATSPIDER.COM

Well that picture-posting thing sure is confusing. Took me forever to figure it out. Here is what I do:

First, you must post your pictures on photobucket.com or one of the similar competing websites. You can't post pics directly from your computer. So set up a free account there first. The instructions here reference photobucket.com.

Then in your FS.com post, look for the "Img" box at the top of the post, #9 from the left in the row of command icons.

Put the cursor where you want the pic to appear in the post (leave a few spaces after text is a good idea) and click the "Img" button/icon above.

Then go to the photobucket.com site (or competitor) and find your pic. Hover the cursor over the pic and a drop down menu will appear. Then click the "Direct Link" or similar button. In Photobucket, it will respond with a "copied" indication.

Go back to your FS.com post and make sure the cursor is EXACTLY in between the 2 Img boxes: [img](cursor%20in%20here)[/img] then right click and hit "paste" and the web link for the pic will show up in between the 2 img boxes. DON'T hit the IMG button a second time. MOVE your cursor out of the IMG info you just created before you hit enter.

Now when you post the post, the pic will be there!

Remember that if you delete the photobucket "master" pic, it will no longer appear in the posting here on FS.com

Also: there is a size limit to the pictures that can be displayed here, I think it is 750 pixels in width, someone correct me if I am wrong. So you may need to resize (typically downsize) the pics so that they fit properly and all of the pic is displayed and not cropped. What I do is really simple: I email the original picture to myself within AOL. AOL will automatically prompt you to see if you want the picture "optimized". Say "yes" and send this new pic to yourself. I then save it with a "small" addendum to the picture name and put this optimized picture up on photobucket. It works every single time like a charm.

honestly think brady has came up with the bst tail light idea. he just needs to figure a way to mass produce something that bolts on with almost the same look
