I had my buddies over at GY Custom Lighting start on my headlight setup. I ordered a grip of Morimoto accessories to throw in there.
It was difficult to choose from different options since Halos and rings are mostly Rice. Let's see how it goes down.

Very interesting build.
I race my vette, some. As you know the front brakes handle
a lot of the braking. Those front brakes can get HOT. I run
electric blowers on the front to cool down the brakes. I have
a switch that can be used at my discretion . I am not saying
that the front vents don't do a good job, it is just that I want
a little more insurance. (I may put blowers on the rear in the
future).
I run a wing. I must follow sanction body rules on placement
and size. I don't think you are concerned with that,and so be it.
Keep up the good work.

We are retrofitting the inner portion (gold painted area) with a Morimoto projector.
Then the chrome reflector area will be blacked out then the morimoto xb strip will finish it off as a running DTRL

Front fenders have finally been finished!
After weeks and weeks of head scratching, cussing, throwing objects, and debates. They have finally reached its desired outcome.
I spent probably about 3-4 months planning these out while the car was being built and this is what it came from it. I pulled most of my inspiration from the C5R. The extended and opened vent adds so much to the illusion of the build.
THEY ARE NOT BOLTED DOWN IN THE PICTURE.

I also received my GT Wing stands from Tway Motorsports. Love the product. Would highly recommend. I will have to modify it a bit but its an awesome platform to build from at a great cost.
My driver personally picked it up from Tim's place and he offered his knowledge to run a 71" APR Wing to compliment them. I'm definetely going to take his advice since he's been racing his c5 professionally years before I even started this build.
Now let's see what will happen next.

Headlights were finished, but I sent them back to get redone. I didn't like how the XB strip didn't meet fully with the side of the reflector. Communication error on my end.
You can't really tell when its on, but I'm one of those guys who would look at it daily and cry inside about it. I will wait the extra time tho to have it done to my liking.
I can't wait to see them finished.

Joey all I can say is WOW! Are these 2 inch flares? Did you have to modify the front bumper to make it tie in like the c6z?
