That was fabricated. I had noticed the holes in the valence and thought that
would be a good place for driving lights. My feeling is that the front end of
a roadster is fairly "busy" in stock form, and putting lights in front of the
grille makes it even more so. We cut the center section out of a stock bumper,
fabbed some ends and rechromed the whole mess.
The downside is that it does reduce the airflow to the radiator, especially
when combined with the air dam. I recently made a scoop that goes from the
driving light bracket up to the radiator (the original scoop on the radiator
had long since gone away) and that seems to help a little.

seems to really like the looks. I know I sure do!
