The idea wasn't to make it look 'factory', so
frenching them in at the outer ends was too
'normal' of a look...every production cars
with a spoiler and lights does that.
The idea here was a 70s endurance road racer.
Flat black hood to reduce glare, auxiliary
driving lights centered on the bumper to
concentrate more light dead ahead. If you look
at the old films of Sebring and such, you'll see
a lot of these types of mods...tho I'll concede
I did put the lights TOO close...there should be
8-12" between them....more like the attached pic.
As for black elsewhere, that would be a permanent
mod that can't be undone in minutes. I'm sticking
to wheels, lights and unboltable body panels for
this scenario.

I like the idea of the front spoiler but hanging the driving lights so close together makes the front end look out of balance. The
lights would look better if they were further apart and "frenched" into the spoiler or front valance.
If you want a black hood, at least continue the paint scheme up to the windshield or over the top of the car. Even better, have a
wide stripe instead of the black hood.
