It wasn't intended to be a question, but I appreciate the opinions/advice. My biggest concern is that I'm going to sink a TON of time into it, and still have more to do. But I also know that by the end of it I will know it's good and that it will all be my craftsmanship (hopefully that is a good thing ).

I have partially decided how I want to do the lights, but not certain yet. I got some trailer lights And was thinking about doing a 4 round set up. It kind of depends on how I do the rear. I kind of want a boat tail, just for max mpgs, but I also want to be able to pull a trailer, so maybe a removable one, but then what will the back of the car look like? If it's not a flat surface it will be added work to mount these lights I have so I'm not sure yet.


(something like these)
