I think those look fantastic on a grand sport and represent the sparse exterior any racer should, but I think it would look funny with front bumpers and I definitely want front bumpers because I'm sure I want to run rears. May be able to hide some small projector lights. Will look into that. Not really familiar with them. Do they have high/low beams in one unit?

Have you seen Showme's headlights? They are glassed into a sharp nose like that, and he has projectors, four total, two lows and two brights.
The projectors are just a housing and lens that focuses the light better.

Hi Scott
Just found your thread.
You have a great imagination, your car is going to look great. It is a tasteful customization, can't wait to see it finished.
Pay no attention to the nay sayers, they probably have no idea of how much work is involved.

I bought a set of junk bumpers a couple of months ago. I thought I was buying a complete set of fronts/rears, but it turns out it was two sets of rears. I got them very cheap because they are in very poor condition. Rather than spend $400 on a set of usable front bumpers that would probably have to be modified to fit the custom front end and certainly need to be rechromed for that price, I decided to modify the rear bumpers. This is the fruit of about an hours worth of labor. Not finished, just tacked heavy. I'm working on figuring out how to make them removable for inspection/night use because they hide my headlights. Ideas?
Just another idea for you. It looks good.

Looking at the new body line on the door made me think that you should make the vent behind the front tire about 2 inches taller.
the front bumper looks good on the car, but it looks good without it as well.
The sail panels look great, and I love the way you molded the rear fender flare into the doors.
Keep posting those pictures .

If you would be explaining this project to me with no pic or drawing I would think you must have had some head trama or you were a brick short of a load 
but after seeing the design and build it is clear you have a cool project hear. I have seen maybe 3 or 4 c3"s with radical mods to there appearance that I like or think are decent, but this is by far the best looking body moded c3 I have ever seen! Keep it up man, very cool and cant wait to see her done. I am surprised you havent been flamed by purist who think messing with a vettes body like this is a crime. You should patent the design (if you can patent a design?) and who knows, might be some people who like it so much they will want you to build them one. Good idea I will keep an eye on progress.
