Thanks !
..for the trunkside of the enginebay I had a rough idea for a fiberglass or carbonfiber cover but I found an aluminium profile that could work too but differently, gave it a try
After a lot of cutting/fitting/cutting/fitting/cutting/fitting/ etc its taking shape
Then I want to mount a few switches that I dont want in the trunk 
switches testfitting
The rewarding stuff is to make it shine  Wetsanded with 400 and 1000 ...polished a little with a polishingwheel on a drill and then some belgom handpolish...this is the first pass

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:

how much dose a set of headlights like that go for?

These are Fiero1fan's brackets and I ordered the Hella lights seperately (and also did some mods)...I dont have a total figure but it is not really cheap

Started to setup and weld the dogbone brackets..cleanup, zincspray and then hi-temp paint
I still think the aluminium bar needs a logo....time to take out an old idea..

Fie RO, are you going to make an engine bay window for this car when it is done? I think it would really show it off. (just make sure to add some curvature to the "glass" (acrylic) )

It crossed my mind but its already been done nicely before, starting with Skitime's..
..now when heatresistant flexible oled displays (transparent when turned off) will become available and affordable I may think again
Seriously I am going for a good look with the decklid up...
the challenge (+time) is to make everything fit and work right...getting all the pieces of puzzle lined up and get the final picture...pff..lol

Yeah
When I got the L67 I was able to get a pretty good mold of the engine cover logo and made a copy in clear and CF....
they have been gathering dust...
however I tried several setups ( paint and cutouts ), I never found a way to justify to cover the blower
anyway, a new version would now need:
- smooth main surface ( instead of small texture)
- red casted letters ( better than paint)
Start, hard to fill red tinted resin without spilling and cleanup
clear resin and CF
rough from the mold

She is looking just great. I have always watched this build, and can't wait to see the end result.
