DIY: Roof Spoiler Progress (56K Warning)
I know some of you have been waiting for some progress pic's so here you are. I have been pretty slamed at work the last coupe of weeks but every chance I get I put my time into this trust me. This is the 3rd attement which seems to be working out so far the first 2 didnt work out very well ( Lets say they didnt work with the curve of the roof )
Still lots of work to go but the basic design is done just smoothing everything out now.
I have a few more projects that I've been pondering around with also. Let me know what you think about Angel eye's. I want Angel eye's in the headlight then also a pair in the Inner lights ( Both to be turned on with diffrent switchs). Im thinking about wireing them into the foglights then rewiring the foglighths to turn out without the headlights. Here are some RUFF RUFF pic's just to get an Idea. Let me know what you guys think about the 4 angel eye's up front.
( Yes they will go inside the light, this was just to get an Idea )
So.... Along with the Angel eye's I've been thinking about eye lids. Just playing around with some Idea's bring them to the table if you have an idea. This is what I've played around so far but I dont know If im feeling any of them.
Im thinking since Im doing eyelids why not copy off JP & make some rear lids also. I realy like the design of the JP ones but Im also open to more design idea's just post up here. This is what I'm talking about.
I think thats about it for now.

....looks awesome! I'm jealous you had the ***** to do it while I wussed out. You my friend are on to big things! I can't really tell from the pic but is this a total original design or are you basing it off of a previous design? if its original we can market this as the LVGS Show Spoiler....
