And now for something completely different...



No, I'm not trying to get into a remake of Mad Max! These are the high tech forms I used (4" ABS pipe LOL) to create the sleeves that will be holders for the fog lights. I've purchased some 4" HID lights that will be finished with fender contour yellow lexan.



These holes are drilled for high output white LEDs a la Audi, Merc, and Porsche. The output of each LED is 250,000 MCD! I hope they are bright enough, I've checked out the Porsches LED DLRs and they are actually each in their own reflector and the LED actually shines down and then is reflected forward.



I moved the exhaust cutouts to straddle the seam between the fenders and the apron. The exhaust diameter will be 2 x 2.5" but I will be sleeving with tips made out of 2.75" to add a heat shield and that will fill in the 3" cutouts quite well I hope. I fiberglassed the fenders and added sheetmetal to the apron.
