Re: 84 bumper conversion
just my taste but bumper should be lower and get rid of those extra lights. Smaller lights for turn under bumper would look nice. Also the split front bumper looks good on those with the lower grille like curlly's. I have to do that on my old 75 for the new owner once it gets back from the paint shop.

Re: 84 bumper conversion
I like that!
An early bumper is hanging on my wall waiting for install on my 81. What brackets did you use to mount the bumper?
Also, what diameter are the driving lights? I also really like that look on early Ferraris and have a difficult time deciding on proportion.

Mark, do you need a relay for the H4 lights? If so, do you one?

Re: 84 bumper conversion
we put relays on all of the lights for a couple of reasons; first it makes the headlight switch last much longer, second it makes the lights much brighter.
