Those are very nice... one question though... can carbon fiber be painted (easily) to match body color?

this is kind of a tease, but I built a second, knackered-up prototype just to see what it would look like in the car. If someone would post the pictures, I can give you a sneak preview. Thanks.

Looks very good, while you are at it, you can mount one camaro headlight under that kid (inside of the bumper), just behind the FTP. Can you say wicked lighting?
I've been contemplating something similar, but I had other projects first (springs, shocks, bushings, brakes, etc). The only thing that I stilll can't figure out (in my ideas) is how to adjust the headlights, you know up\down and left\right.

I'm sounding repetative.
Since I am using aftermarket lights, I can mount them to point in whatever direction I like. I am using XLD's. They are a dual driving/fog light in an anodized black alluminum housing.
I am using FET Catz lights. The kit is not "light specific". I made a bucket, you provide the lights. I wanted to allow for flexibility so some could use HID, etc.

Yo,
Looks good, always warms the heart to see FC peoples making stuff for our cars. Good looking stuff too, not cheese. Keep up the good work!

vmb, that is just the bucket. The headlights I am using are CATZ XLD lights. One is round, the other is oval. You can use the most un-Camaro lights you can find, if you wish.
Thanks for the color-matching Tree. It is a little misleading because the lexan cover will lay flush and in the colorized picture the color stops short. In the pictures you can see a sort of frame around the opening, that is to mount the lexan to.

With this kit (and others similar to it), how does the light shine down on the road? Is there any area on the road that the driver can't see because the light doesn't reach it on account of the flat area of the recessed area above the bumper? Just curious.
