Still say to take that reflector, turn it up side down, and put it directly over the exhaust cutout area, corse I think installing red led lights in would look trick too.
Yes. That was one of the relocations I had performed on #015 and I haven't ruled it out; yet. Once the lower have of the bumper is performed, old reflectors removed/glassed, and center Ford GT vent is in place, I'll have Archie try both locations for final placements. In this situation, its the only way to be 100% since 99% of the car is a pipe dream.
Thanks for the thoughtful insight.

Bumper pic-tweaks are looking good. Thanks for mounting them Archie. We might need to increase the upper radius to match the car, but for now I love it and it makes the dull sides "pop."

Incorporate the marker inside (C16) where you see the black marker outlined (driver's side). I'll have to tweak the upper and lower edges for a nicer cut and curve,but for now; where moving forward with the Ford GT vent. Once the GT40 vent and reflectors are installed, the Crew can go back and re-tweak.
The rear coil-over are the result of 2-complete turns. I'm guessing this is about right for the rear height.

Back yard grilling; Cut out and sizing up the area. Enjoy
The Cut;
The Purpose; make useful of use a $112 part (originally was to be the 350 deck vent), add some "pop" to the boring 20 yr. old bumper, and lower the bumper fascia a bit by 2" (matching the corners of the bumper sides). Granted, the mod is in it's early stages and is in no-way finished. Enjoy the build.
Thanks.

The fascia is lowered by 2" or so inches to match the corners. This modification will allow for aggressive look and feel and aid in eliminating the the exhaust from view. It's not as low as #022, but it fit #020 just perfect. Besides, there is enough room for several mod idea using the MadArch kit.
Ford GT40 rear vent is coming along pretty nicely. On Friday we'll decide the placement for the reflector, but I'm guessing it will be above the exhaust pipes-just below the body line. Also finally tweaking of the rear side bumper vents. Enjoy

Today, I called the Lotus Recycling company and asked about the hold-up on the wiring system for the wiper system. They sent the part out on Thursday and it won't arrive until Monday

Its one of those, "wait-until-we-see" situations . Once the rear bumper is re-mounted and markers are in place-then we''ll know if need tweaking is in order
However, I'm no big hurry; it doesn't get cold in Chicago until November, hehe.
