I am looking to modify the front end of a group 4 conversion with a custom metal faring l need some ideas of types of lights and placement. I looked at the callender cars but does 200 doesnt show the front but will it go 200 There are so many kinds of different lights to use and places to put them. pictures or advice would be great for this future vintage racer.@ ( I was thinking of possibly removing the pop up lights and installing a gt-40 or callaway style head light In the front) Does this sound crazy I think its possible)and would look good.

Thats correct, the front end of my car is pretty bare (no bumpers, no lights), except for the low profile headlights. I also like Group 4s with front air dams. Is that what you are refering to as metal faring? If so, I can post some photos of a few different group 4 front end cars.

And yes, it does 200...in my dreams.

All of the cars now running non-pop-up lights shining thru plexiglas shields to date have had to trim the piece of fender between the break in the body and the headlight opening, to get enough light distribution to makre such a mod e safe and driveable at high speed. This may be why not many have done the mod. The opening exposed in the fender area is simply too low for good light distribution or too narrow for available dual bulbs. Some of the very newest projection-type bulbs may change this, but their exhorbitant cost is another factor. For me, any modification to the car must not weigh any more than the old setup, be at least as good in performance and as safe/dependable, and be cost-effective.Appearance runs 4th in my personal list.
