You will find that you'll need to move the lights forward 1-2 cm for the headlight doors to close fully.

It's possible to get the plug for the parking lights from Hella but I'll just use small individual crimp-om connectors...

For the unused holes: I just got 2 more of the adjuster screws and have one in each hole. Looks better....

hey Kolja, I used a grinder and my powerfile for that, and some finishing with a handfile...just using the basic tools I have and make the best of it. The lights are just mounted how I like them but I have not fitted them yet.... looks I have to be careful and change position, how much do the housings stick out with yours ?
btw what kind of connector is used for the parking lights? Still need those.
I got an idea for the unused holes:

The sideskirts are universal M3 style skirts cut to length and molded to the original (GT) skirts. You need to do some fiberglassing and fabricate custom endcaps so its not a bolt-on piece. the universal sideskirts shouldnt be hard to find though...pm replied also

No, dietmar's sideskirts (and sidescoops) are different from mine but I like them too !

Fie RO, could you post a new series of updated pics of your car inside and out?
Your car is one of my favorites and I'd love to see the current state of things.

Noo, that front end is way more classy than any Mitsu. That looks like an Aston Martin nose. From the right angle it looks like a car you'd expect to see in a James bond movie being driven by bond himself.

thanks ! Actually thats the comment I get often (if lucky), I rather have it compared to an aston (must be partly the paint choice and mesh setup too) than a wannabe ferrari nose or something..when I started building it I wanted it to look different than a straight copy of something (which is hard because you will compare it anyway)..tried to use a blend of different nice designs to something that would fit my "updated fiero" ideas at that time..

Well, it hasnt been out of the garage since last winter and currently it is in a state of surgery it sits on stands and I removed the V6 and parts of the suspension. Everything that will go back will be cleaned, painted or replaced by something better. I will post some progress and ideas soon

btw hate to say but no progress on the interior

Forgot to ask: With your style hood scoop, the roof glass still fits in the front trunk, correct?
