The (simulated) Daytons do look good. Not crazy about the green though.
Maybe the headlights could pop out from the upper sides of the cowl?

Thanks. Pop-out headlights are definitely under consideration; especially with the radiator in back because there would be room for them to tuck in. What I like is it would add another "Fiero" charateristic. I would make the manual though to make them "1927". Probably a lever you pull/push, with a linkage rod running forward the mechanism.------------------

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opel_GT
One unusual feature of the Opel GT was the operation of the pop-up headlights. They were manually operated, by way of a large lever along the center console next to the shifter. Unlike most pop-up headlights, they both rotated in the same direction (counterclockwise from inside the car) about a longitudinal axis. One standard joke about GT owners was that you can easily spot them due to the heavy muscles on their right arm built up by using the lever to pop up the headlights.

Is there any benefit to having a switch like this? I would be worried about accidentally hitting it while driving, not that it would be dangerous but it would probably be an inconvenience. If you must have it may I suggest recessing it in the dash and fabricating an extension that is metal and more ornamental to fit the time period, a big plastic button doesn't speak 1927 to me.
