My friend't truck has those hood mounted turn signals. They just stick to the fender and have really thin wires run through to the engine compartment between the hood and fenders.

Nice, I think it would go good with your black detailing! ...IF you have the heart to drill into your fender...  :o

Yes, that's the scary part! Now would be a good time to do it though while its still in the body shop.  I should order them and set them on the fender just to see what they look like.  Of course I'd have to wrestle with that plastic inner fender to make it work, which is never easy lol

I decided to order a pair of these and see what they look like.  They require no hole for mounting, although maybe a small one for the wires.  I'll lay them on the fenders and see what I think before I do any drilling though!

If the wires are small enough, you should just be able to close the hood on them, and have the wires run into the engine compartment.

Thanks, I'll have to see if that will work.  I really don't want any wires visible, but if I can attach them right next to the hood maybe I can hide the wires that way.  We'll just have to see how that looks.

So the car is at my friend's shop once again, but now for the heater core.  Hopefully after this I won't need to put anymore money in this car, as it seems I've replaced everything! And I mean EVERYTHING!   Anyone wanna buy a 1983 Limited Eagle SW for $4,000??? LOL  :P  ::)

Update 5/8/2011.

Been a while since I've updated this!  Bought these Chrome Skins last week on the internet and are patiently waiting for them to arrive!  I think they will make my Eagle look really really cool!
