    oh BTW, forgot about my thinking on headlights and taillights.....lol

    I talked about this way back in some other thread.

    Not sure on the thinking behind using headlights from another car, I believe the ones being used are from a camry, but I could be wrong on that. At anyrate I did a search on camry headlights and ouch! they can get expensive per/unit, I saw some for almost $200 a unit.

    That is why I purposed using Hella headlights, since you can get them almost anywhere and a lot less money, plus it takes away from that so called "oh look they used headlights from a ...." comment. But that is something again that could be done later in time as the design develops more.

    Same kind of thinking with the rear taillights. From what I have seen in the past mockup pics of Jim's design, it looks like they are using Hella taillight for the big round ones, kind of like the ones on the GTM.

    By using Hella taillights that are not LED, you can keep the price way down, and I mean way down.

    Basic idea here is to work with what FFR has so far, and continue to let FFR stay on path.

    Anyhoot enough rambling........lol
