You guys are smart. I like sharing with smart guys! Yeah, unfortunately you can't just bolt them in easy peasy. I obviously opened up the entire opening where the stock fog lights were. Then I took the stock brackets off and re-attached them with high strength urethane and twice as many screws. I had to make 3 new separate brackets for both lights on each side. They're secured to the front fiberglass cap on top, bottom and one side. They don't move! haha.

So yeah, they'd move all over the place if I didn't spend the time to mount them right. Nothing is easy in gmtech's shop!

99dart- I'd certainly consider a blower if it was a GM engine or the Ford V10 had as much modding support. After tuning the V10 though, I'm pretty happy with the power and torque. It runs strong! Not much more to be gained unless I did go crazy like adding a blower or turbo. Not likely though. I do have a current blower project though, I just bought a new Yamaha GP1800. Can't wait to build my intake for it so I can hear that blower whine!
