    pics of my home-made 250sx headlight guard. what do you think?

    well i've been messing around in the garage trying to make a headlight guard and this is what i ended up with. I think it's to tall ( i will probablly change that) but other than that i think it looks pretty darn good. let me know what you think.

    Not bad at all for 7 bucks. Nice job!

    Why the double bolt set up though instead of just having each tube longer with one bolt?

    I'm sure there is a reason and as usual I am curious and this is why I ask.

    cause i'm a dumb arse and made it a little to short. i dont know how i ended up with it too short, but i did so thats the best way i could think of to fix it. if i make another one it wont be short like that one, i'll make it a little too long and then i will put it where it goes and trim it to fit.

LOL. i'll try to get around to it in the next few days but i wont make any guarantees. i'll let you know if i get it made.
