If I didn't have child care complications, I'd come down. Just out of curiousity, how much time would you need the lx to get it figured out?

I sent you the Labrak light contact by email. He said it's 4.5" in depth. There is also a possibility of just using the turn signal if the whole assy does not fit.
I was thinking I could maybe come down in a few weeks to pick up the bumper, fit the light and fit the grill guard all at the same time for my LX. Let me get back to you later this week.

So the original shop that said they would do the drawing, decided they didn't want to
So I found a shop a friend recommended 10 minutes away from my house. I took the bumper there and had a good feeling about the owners. They will do the drawing, cutting and bending in house and they even do powder-coating. Now just waiting for a quote. If I end up using this shop I will be offering powder-coating. They said I should hear back from them in the next day or two. Also iv been talking to labrak about there fog light/turn signal inserts. I think they would be a nice addition to the bumper and after talking with Shane they seem like a great company to work with. Will keep you guys posted.

Is this the same Shane as metricTLC? If so, read up on him, he's a huge flake and lots of folks have been having problems with him. If not, sorry.
That is so tempting... I have an LX that would look great with your bumper. PM sent!

Ben, I was about to ask almost the same question! More like: have you had a chance to brainstorm the kit?
Will there be any welding invoclved? I am a complete novice in terms of fabricating
Yes you do have to weld it or have somebody weld it for you!

Got word back from the shop I will be using. The good news is it's all in the works now. They are going to be drawing next week then they will cut one prototype. After that, I will have to take it home and tack weld it together and see if any changes need to be made, if all is good then they start production. The only problem is it is going to take them a couple weeks, so hopefully that won't put me to far behind schedule. I will definitely not be shipping out any this month. It looking like end of March if all goes well, the DIY kits may ship out a little sooner. Thanks for your understanding, and know I am doing my best to get these shipped out in time.
