christofoo, The blinkers are located in the sides of the headlights, and I believe the lower 'lights' are just reflectors, but I'm not sure.

Moving lights to the bullnose = extending the wires and cutting holes in your bull nose. Just sounds like a Saturday afternoon to me.

Brutally simple: Extend the nose in a straight line to be flush with the sides of the car body, then extend flat panels back to meet up with the car sides.

Simple: Use cardboard to shape out the rest of the nose (for compound curve), then stitch it together somehow and fiberglass it.

Simple: Do the curve the other way around, like an air dam, matching with the sides of the car, and sloping in a way that it would fit the front of the car nicely with some manhandling.

Somewhat challenging: Combine the air dam profile and the smooth nose profile with lots of cardboard and then fiberglass.

Challenging: Do a 3-D model of what you want, make a mold, then fiberglass or carbon fiber.
