Have you check to see if the bumper will fit over the absorver after the mods ?

Are you planning on using any type of mesh behind the openings ?



If you noticed--nothing dramatically has changed; just the angles. The depth remains the same except the new location for the lamps will be moved forward









The OEM egg crate rubber absorber will no doubt need modification near the center where the large opening is raised,



but other-than-that all other lights are either; moved forward and away from the body (driving lamps) where the original turn signal lamps are mounted thus more room.


The fog lamps will be positioned a bit lower than where #022 was placed thus no abstruction.



The side vents are pointed down and inward.

Sorry, no close-ups of the VDC kit. The pics were from a web page featured here on Pennocks.

In other news; #015 nose is coming along very nicely with the JOM lamps staggered just below Troy boy’s fog lamps. Dan and I agreed that the JOM look far better being fitted on the bottom so that we could exploit the lamps chrome bezel. Dan tried both options, but the later was deemed the best look for what I wanted. I sent examples to exoticse for visuals.

First up,.. exploring the options.

final decision !

Thanks Tony for resizing and posting pics (I'm too busy working). As you can see-the lights aren't positioned correctly and are placed soley for visuals. Next week Dan will tweak the JOM lights with a roof that will separate it from the fog lamps. The housing around the fog lamps will be funneled towards the lights in a cone-like fashion. Also, the two main grills will be tweaked for grills similar to #020. It's rough, but coming along nicely.

Thanks Tony.

Update; Dan has tweaked #015 nose similar to that of the NSX lower front lip spoiler and has now smoothed out the area for better visuals. Indeed the nose appears more Pontiac OEM-like, but with an aggressive stance and pitch. Also, the octagon mock-up grills are in place.
