Default wings west W-type mod...

I am considering getting a W-type kit for my 94 accord and had a question about something...I saw a picture of a kit on another accord where he had the bumper lenses somehow cut out and fiberglassed in or something -





And I was curious if anyone knew how I could do this? Thanks in advance

His bumper lens cut outs are still there, he may have sealed them off, but they aren't shaved. I love C2's on 5th gen Accords:yes:

If I were to do it, I'd prolly use a 1/16" piece of abs plastic, cut it out so it's barely larger than the opening from the backside, then fiberglass it in place.

Actually, If I was gonna do something like this, i'd just shave em. I'd put in a set of bumper lenses I didn't want, put in some bondo all around the lens to fill in the space. Then I'd fill in the opening with bondo until it's almost flush, then I'd lay down a layer or two of fiberglass for strength, add a lil more bondo to smoothen things out and then sand it down until it's perfectly smooth, paint and enjoy

Mine isn't a 5th gen and I didn't do this myself, but my front license plate holder is shaved.
