there is a place in ill. i think they are called glasstek or glasstech that makes them and they bolt on like a stock hood. last time i checked they were something like 400 plus shipping which was truck freight of 125,

If you have Aim hit me up my s/n is LowRidinMazda16, Rudys looks like his was professionally built because the guys at IF customs built it. We both started with just a plane hood and a pre-made fiberglass scoop..

here is what you do fanniator. Get some headlights first 01-05. Trim the grill to fit the lights. Once fitted to the grill, take the lights out and mark where you need to drill holes for the mounts to go. Then drill the holes. Also mark where you need to cut the rad support then cut the rad support. Go to a junkyard and get the headlight connectors cut your stock connectors off. Wire up the ranger connectors to your stock wires. Once you do this put the grill back on then mount the headlights hook up the connectors and bing you have ranger headlilghts! I am going to be doing this in the near future but thats the jist of it I got from the pic above.

seriously dude, i dont wanna seem like an ass, but its no that hard...with that one pic posted above you should be able to do it on your own, you shouldnt need a full MT style manuel for this, its not THAT big of a deal....just take your time, and measure twice cut once, and if it comes down to wireing or something thats pissing you off, then ask....like i said i dont wanna be an ass but use your head instead of depending on others.................second tid bit of info, when my buddy put his escort headlights in he layd them onto cardboard, traced them, then cook the carb board and traced the cardboard onto the grill, its easyier to work with... make sure you always cut less, then trim to fit....good luck with the swap man...
