well both for the looks and the actual practicality of the extra lights
i live up in the mountains and the extra lights will be nice to spot the many elk and deer that are around the highway. and the fogs will definitely be nice as well during the snowy weather we have
and yes i would love to get me in some rallycross action as well

ya i was thinking of mounting the lights up higher over the grill, but i would have to bend the flat steel i had aaaand i don't know how i would do that without a set of clamps or a vice
i worked with some mounting points i knew would work

I did this on my Woo. You will want some extra bracing to help keep the vibration down, it gets a little annoying. Also, if someone just taps your car, you will come out to some lights just hanging by the wires which I had happen a few times until I tucked them into the grill.

I'm currently working on something like this for my 09' right now. I'm ordering one of the billet grille kits off ebay to replace the stock plastic grilles, but i'll be painting the billet flat black and mounting 2x 7" HID fog lights behind the lower grille and 2x 4" HID fog lights behind the top grille.

yea i've made it all myself with the extra time i have this summer
. i've seen that swift before too and i always loved the cluster
as for the bracing it sits just fine witht the three lower mounts so the two extra points going up will go into the license plate area of the bumper to reduce the vibration...i hope
like i said before i need to wire it all up and test drive around to see if there is a lot of bounce or not. if there is then i am thinking of extending the upper points through the grill and finding some extra points up near the grill area.
hopefully no one leaves my ish hanging by the wires
the thought of mounting the lights behind the grill crossed my mind, but i could probably only fit two lights back there so my thinking was might as well have them all up front
good luck with your build wolf looking forward to seeing your set up as well.
