Get some sheet stainles (aluminum could work too), cut out a frame the shape of the cutouts (something like a tombstone), my eye says something 3/4" or so in width. Then get some of that woven stainless wire mesh we often see in grilles. Polish to a bright shine. That way they'll look like intentional "hi tech" vents to releave under chassis air pressure.
Not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but I think lights that low are a potential problem. Following drivers are inattentive enough without putting the lights down so low that they're even more difficult to see.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

If you don't want to move the tail/brake lights down that low, what about putting the set of back-up lights in the openings? You could probably get some 4" chrome lights that would work.

Good rendering for a quickie. I'd suggest ballancing the bottom profile so the eye isn't confused by the symetry of the tail lights versus the asymetry of the fillers. I realize there's a bit of parallax viewing in the centered camera position, just looks exagerated somewhat. Also a slightly tighter mesh might look racier.Last edited by Bob Parmenter; 02-01-2008 at 07:55 PM.

Denny Real nice work. I like some of your ideas,taillights, mesh, but how about a bracket welded to the frame with 8" of bumpers on each side sorta likie a big nerf boardKeep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!
Well I've sure gotten old too so don't worry about it! I've had two bypass surgeries, new knees, fought prostate, cancer and diabetes. I'm half blind, can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine,...
