Getting down to business... From racecar look to racecar spec

Are both highbeams going to be 'functional' intakes with piping? (Would be awesome if they had some sort of welded metal in the shape of the oval holes.) Also wondering what will be different about the skirts?
Btw, have you thought of maybe running some oil lines out of the left high beam hole and mounting an oilcooler out front Bosozoku style?

I go to stuff posted in the Chicago forum on here sometimes, some jdmchicago meets, and trackdays from clubfr if you're interested in that.
I can still always appreciate a clean and well done SC... Besides, mine will be all beat up and ****ty in no time, haha.
Hell yeah, gonna take it to walmart when I'm done, haha.
I'm debating what to do with the other highbeam, I have a few ideas, but I probably won't be making the other one an intake duct. I'm not sure if they'll be able to get the existing duct perfectly form fitted for the oval hole, but it should be close.
I went with origin sides, trying to get rid of all the crappy VIS stuff the car came with.
I did think about doing an externally mounted oil cooler, but with how often I have the bumper on and off, and the fact that this is gonna be a close call on time regardless, I don't plan on doing anything anytime soon.
It's a good chunk of money, but the guys at Fluid are giving me a great deal and being very helpful with the project... They're always trying to do something different, so I think this car was right up their alley. It makes me really happy when I go by the shop and they're as excited as I am about the car.
I might have time to stop out at the shop tomorrow and see if there's any notable progress.

just mount a small powersteering or oil cooler behind the other highbeam hole and duct it properly.
Done and done.
Also if this is a race car build where are the crazy suspensions with everything adjustable suspension arms and all the talk about ackerman, contact patch, roll center and such

This isn't a racecar, it's a drift car... And I will have no discussion of such nonsense in my thread.
Thanks
