Why fresh air headlight covers on both sides? Is it just for looks or is there function to it?

That was a painshop original

I was trying to convey to mariah motorsports why I wanted mirrored headlight scoops. Someday, I'll figure out how to do it.

Here's what I REALLY want. They look like mini upside down OEM hood scoops. If I could figure out how to stamp or make pop-up headlight covers like this (I'd be making some money off of you all).

Here's a page with a bunch of paint codes. I couldn't find Arctic Silver, but I only went through half the list.

Thanks, I found the code on there, it was J5. Says it was only 87-88. Is there still a compony that manufactures that color by code that you know of?

I think you're referring to the FX Designs kit? Hmmm, definitely not my cup of tea...

If you find a really good body shop that does in depth work, they should be able to mix the paint up for you.

1-yellow
2-dark blue
3-black
4-red
5-white

Since my GXL is beige outside and maroone on the inside, I have 2 choices:
some type of red which I don't want, or
YELLOW which will be pimp, with maybe black racing stripes ?
