permanent front parking light delete

[05Nissan350z]

Hey everybody I have an idea that i would like to find out if it's been done before or not. I hate the way the front turn signal and parking lights are. I would like to completely remove them and some how attach something to the bumper to make it flush or find a bumper that I can make fit without the cutouts for them. And then drill out holes for some smaller LED turn signals in the new bumper. So the front of the car looks more flush. Has anyone seen this done or have any suggestions?

Why not just flush up the stock lenses? You can make your own custom LED side markers and then counter sink the lenses so they sit flush. Imho, that would be 10xs better and easier to do than to fill in the holes and redrill for side markers that may or may not look good.

Yeah I see your perspective on that. I just really think they're hideous and have no real reason to be as big as they are .

Something like this is what I wanting to do but I don't have a clue what bumper that's off of .

Looks like a cross between an MKIII supra and a ford probe.

I was thinking the same thing but I like it/ want that damn bumper!

It's definitely a different look.
Not sure if it exists outside of photoshop....

I'm not sure either. But might be a fun project for my friend and I to try and do. Just have to try and find me a bumper that looks close to this one

How to make single panel to replace headlight covers:

Remove headlights.
Apply masking tape to edges of openings where headlight covers and center panel go.
Take a set of 1G Eclipse covers/center panel.
Bolt them in the car and make sure they are straight/level.
Use paper tape to cover the headlight covers and center panel, covering all gaps.
Use more paper/tape to protect front end of the car.
Apply fiberglass and resin to the headlights, about 2-3 layers should be enough.
After resin is hardened, remove the panel you formed and trim/sand it to fit.
Use fiberglass to make mounting tabs to attach the cover to factory mounting points.

After the panel is done it would be a matter of finding a bumper and modifying it to look like you want. Make sure the replacement bumper is fiberglass because it's easier to form than the plastic that some bumpers use.

Thank you! I'll keep this in mind for sure!
