Default Where to get this nose panel?!?!

Anyone knows where this is from? I don't like the LR one because of how huge the vent is and I have a FMIC .

You could super upgrade the driving lights to avoid headlights


Anyone done this?

Hey it's a really nice smooth look and you'll cut some weight out of the front too. I'd just like to see a good example of what light you can throw from down there before I committed.

Yeah MPD47 did it a few years back, Hella 90mm's 4 of them in the fog light area...

I'm running something similar on the 935 with the headlights in the bumper not the "pop ups". As long as they put out enough light I don't see why anyone would get hassled. The "blind" header panel looks factory.

As Gabe stated, I have my car setup like that:




Never had a time when I felt I needed more light (I live out "deer" country), especially when I flip on the high beams which have no cutoff. All four lights are HID's. Please excuse the old photos, I know most of you have seen them, but figured they were relevant.

I love your car MPD, the owner of my shop gave me some really nice lights from our rx7 fixed headlight conversion. They are Catz lights, and I got 4 of them for free. I hate my pop up lights, I will do something similar to MPD's car but I will make lexan covers. I feel really bad about "copying" MPD's style but I really dislike all the fixed headlight conversions.

Yeh lights in the drivinglight spot is just far to easy I toyed with all kinds of high mount lights but they are difficult to make and therefor super expensive to buy.I think we have some stupid law here stating g minimum height from the ground for the lights . But that will only be a concern If i ever get back on the road .
I like the look of the lights down we have fiberglass header panels with lines in them so they appear to still have the pop ups but don't .
I think a a small indecators in the factory mounting front bar leaving the rest of the slot available for air intake on each side one for the airfilter one maybe oil cooler
