Ned Ritchie (Intended Acceleration) has a yellow 90Q that he added the
newer style bonnet from a 90 Cabriolet. The lights he used are off the
RS2 with the projector beams (DE?). He has the RS2 bumper/airdam and a
monster wing. This is a 4-door. I don't how far he has gotten, because
someone backed into the front of the car and took off damaging the
airdam/bumper.
