light bar.

[Mike Sove]

well, today i started making the light bar for the top of my ST. instead of using yakima bars, or factory plastic crossbars, im making my own out of steel. very suttle, very simple, but it will use the front roofrail mounting holes, and the roofrails will still be able to go on, the plate simply slips under the siderail mount. the plastic "gasket" that protects the paint will still be used as well. should turn out ok, ive got all the material cut and the plates made. tomorrow i'll test fit the plates and tack it all together. I should have pics up sometime early this week. if im happy with it and others are interested, i plan on making more of them.

You should try to get some small rectangle lights like mine shown below if you are looking for subtle. My lights came from walmart and were 25 for a set of two, cant beat that price.
