Default Customized C4 fronts

I'd really like to do something different with my 87's front. A few years ago on some website, I saw a mock up of a front end a guy was building. Looked a lot like one of the Callaway designs only better. Lost the pop up bug lights, smoothed out the nose and placed the headlights in nacelles in the fender.

Unfortunately, I didn't store the information

Anyone do anything different to thier C4 fronts? Any pics?

Boredom is a beotch!

No, the exhaust and center panels are different. These would both look much better with wind shovels front and rear and 8' exhaust extensions reaching to the sky. Ready for show............in Japan.

I would really love to buy this car that's for sale.

And then I'd like to take it to the crusher and personally start the destruction. But you can't really destroy something that's already destroyed. Knowing that I took this piece of crap out of existence would be my good deed for the decade.
