*sniffles* baby, i still think you're beautiful even if that meanie from NZ doesn't.
Still not sure I'm too fond of that, but I think the fixed headlights would help a lot.

Btw, what are you using for the fixed headlights?

Are the lense covers polycarbonate? Do they scratch often?

they fly OFF a lot.... probably just clear acrylic or lexan?

lights are hella 90mm, search my post history - you'll find a lot about them. not for the faint of heart/wallet, as the lamps+housings are approx 500 x 4

FOR the SECOND TIME Automotion is ripping you off!! Here are just a couple of links to the same product for less money. There are about 5 others, not including SFR http://www.americaninternationalracing.com/ WWW.Gt-racing.com, Seriously, if you tell AIR you would like the gropup buy price, they may sell it for 250.00 including shipping. I just don't want you to get screwed on the same part. Our cars are expensive enough. Good luck. It's your cash!

I have the panel and as ehall said get it from AIR not Automotion. Automotion buys theirs from AIR and puts a fat markup. As far as the fit, it is definitly not a bolt on application, but a competent body man shouldn't have a problem. Don't go to a collision repair place - I did and regret it. Find a hot rod shop - someone who specializes is restoration. Thos guys are wizards at making repo body panels fit and it won't cost you much if any more. I for one like the look of the molded cvents over the cut vents because its a smoother transition - looks cleaner IMHO.
