    looks like it only fits the traveler. I'd put that on ebay with aprice of $150.00 and hope the guy that needs one sees it. gotta be rare as hell.

    Cool piece...
    I personally would take a section out of it so that it hugs the plate and has a cleaner fit.
    ... but that's just me.

    Cool find, I have one of the longer US plates and the size looks exact, strange though, because it is much older than the year of some of the Kaisers?

  11. Ever tried to sell Kaiser parts? The guy that needs it would find it for the $3 and bitch that that was too much for it.

    Looks good on the Caddy, I'd leave it there.

    Hank, I do like your idea but id have to find someone to braze the brass, because i hold no welding skills, but yes it would look amazing from the pho-job you did.
    we will see what happens, my mind has still not been made up if i want a slim frame around it and with that it might look better.

    I think it looks good wider. Emphasizes how it matches the style of a bumper with guards. Without the width, you got no bumper, you just got guards. Make any sense? Good luck

    you know shifty your right, literaly when i came home today i sat in my car as i pulled in behind the fleetwood for about 5 minutes just looking and thinking about a few different looks on what i can do, and honestly, just keeping it like it is, kinda fits, i know one thing im going to do is to fill that little gap between the light housing and plate, is when i get the car striped, have little sidways 'v' lines just to break that slight plain-ness. so it look like @>[____]<@.

    haha, that also fits my car perfect, when you hit the headlights, thers a low *Crack* and they sorta turn on and fade up to a bright white.
    that and its funny, the plate light has the same ambiance as the dash lights when you open the door.
