...the accord front end. Assuming you didn't like the pop ups. :stick:

Add some material to raise the front fenders a little and there should be enough room for the lights, but that would just push the angle of the hood closer to horizontal. :P

interesting ....... i know many here have tried converting to non-pop up lights. IMO i like the pop-ups, the hardest part about our cars is the curve wee have in the hood/grille line. This makes it very difficult to fabricate something that will be 100% functional and look decent. Ive played around with a few ideas and i think the closest thing we can get to will be a setup similar to a Mitsubishi conquest or an older (early 80's) supra. oh and not forgetting the corolla's too.

That's because the Monza succeeded the Manta.

Forget the lights...I want the whole car :lol:



Id be interested to see those lights photoshopped onto a 3rd gen, though. I think they could look good if pulled off right.

Nice! Gets my vote.

I can't really picture the Manta front-end.

this is a Opel Manta B with Manta 400 lights and Mantzel styling on.. for the first, they were never sold in US, second, those round lights are rare now. If you dont like flip-ups, why dont just convert to EDM front instead? I personally dont like flip-ups when they are up. but do like when they are closed. IMO

edit: this one is for sale.. with *Opel Calibra C20let engine.. a H22 like swap in these cars. http://www.megamanta.co.uk/project_mantzel_manta.htm

x3, but one thing that really bothers me when they're closed is if they don't line up with the corner lights & grille properly. and it's really hard to align them perfectly on these cars lol
