Starting to look at the mods for the front so I can button that up. Still a little cold for glass, but CAD works.
Here's what I'm thinking. Any thoughts?
Also bought some HHR side markers for the front.
Last weekend, I also picked up an Subaru Impreza third brake light from the rear spoiler. Looks like it should fit the rear deck well. (no pic yet  )
Might be able to get something done tomorrow, we'll see...

Playing with the CAD some more. May be changing up the hood and lights a bit.
And the possible view through the louvers.
I also had a few thoughts about the nose and valence.
That's it for now...

Cardboard Aided Design, one of my favorite tricks...
Recent example from my current bike project.
I like where your going with the front, I'm also going to take a couple of inches out of the nose. (Always thought that Ferrari's of that era had a big nose).

Had some fun today.
First off, I roughed in the third brake light. It's a Subaru piece, although I saw a Nissan piece that was identical.
Then I started working on the front. I decided to break out the foam to create the shelf for the lower valence. Then a lot of sanding and measuring. Tomorrow I'll work on the profile and if the weather permits, break out the glass.

Lots of work, small update.
The new shelf is glassed in as far as I can go on the outside. Once the front comes off, I'll pull the foam and reglass the inside. Now I'm working on the lights and re-configuring the front a little.
I think I'm going to center the lights on the head lights. This will move the brake vent from the bottom under the lights to the side of the lights.
We'll see. I change my mind often 
The next challenge is figuring out how in the heck the lights mount. No Preludes in the local junkyard. Hmm???

Well, a lot of work went into it the last couple weekends, without a whole lot to show for it. I think I'm on my 4th iteration of running/fog lamp mounts. What a PITA. I have no clue how Carlo and Amida have done this in the past. I'm just trying different things until it works.
More to come, I'm sure...

Lol, I'm with you on that Bob! I've been stuck on a spoiler for the last 6 weeks I think... Even Carlo has pulled stuff apart many times when it just doesn't feel right. But then, once you're finished you'll be happier with the end result and you'll know you didn't just slap things together when they weren't what you envisioned. Keep at! It is all coming together and looking great!

I told my wife about the lights and she sincerely said "no wonder it takes so long.". And she's absolutely right, because I (we) have to make it right.
