Like anything with body work involved, it comes down to prep work and the quality of the products used. if he just filled them with Bondo, then I would say its a good bet they will crack and come apart at some time. Now if he used a good dura glass filler, then a slight skim coat of bondo and then a scuff coat of glazing putty. this will last.

So, do you think these will crack after awhile?


It depends on all the elements they're subjected to. My buddy has had a set on his hoe for 4 years that are made the exact same way, and we live in Indiana and they see all 4 seasons at that. His are still going strong.

I've never pulled mine off before, but how much space is behind those? Enough for maybe some small reverse lights custom molded or maybe a reverse camera? Pics with them off would be nice.

I don't have pics but there is definitely enough space there for what you want.

I have something similar in mind with the lights and installed some LED strips there to glow out of the vents. The output wasn't great though, so I scrapped it.

You may be able to work something out though.
