I didn't say that I wasn't going to do it. Questionable is just that: I'm going to have to do more research before I make a choice (stuff like finding acceptable material to make the lens out of, making sure that my electrical system won't murder the current regulator on the assembly, and that my auto insurance doesn't care about headlight mods-- they specifically asked about at least engine swaps and some other things I can't remember). I'll likely spend more time on the design phase than anything else.

Still need to deal with fueling issues before anything else though.

My current list of mods that I expect will give the best FE boost for the money and time spent:

Duct work between front of car and radiator.
Grill block sized to reflect the cooling improvement.
Side skirts.
An indicator to keep track when the ECU is in feedback mode.
Corrugated plastic hubcaps.
