Sounds pretty cool Dan. About the only thing the vehicle code said was that you had to have wipers in good, working condition controlled by the driver and that your windshield couldn't be opaque. Does this have anything to do with your "forming clear plastic" thead?
I looked at the vehicle code online, and I didn't see anything about windshield height, maybe call the dmv to make sure? What are your plans for the roadster if you don't mind me asking?
I put a '95 maxima alternator onto my L24 using a homemade bracket. I know you said zcar bracket, but the bracket is really easy to make. All you have to do is cut it out.
My cigarette lighter falls out when I pull out fast lol. I really like the lights, I'm gonna have to do something like that when I get it back on the road
