What have you done to your DeLorean today?

It is Welded in normally, but in this installation it will get bolted back into place so that it remains removable for future accessibility.

That's correct. The structural rigidity comes from the heavy aluminum bumper that bolts on to it, not that rear member, anyway. In addition, I will be installing reinforcement plates across the back to further increase rigidity beyond what stock was.

Aluminum Bumper? I don’t recall seeing that the last time I had the facsia/ closing Assembly off my car.

Same here. Its a steel frame and the foam backing then the fascia, also heat shield

Yep, forgot to mention that. I used these. No cutting or modding at all
Just the pins for low and high on the outer lights

Your car looks soooo good with that new lighting system up front, as well as the LEDs everywhere else!

Does your headlight system use any less in current than the originals?

This coming winter my car lives in the garage and I'll be changing my lighting system to LEDs, now I know what headlight system I would like to install.

Do those headlights fit into the stock metal support frame? (don't know the correct name for those)

Sure adds a bit of class to your car! (Which is already stunning)

The foam backing the fascia is glued on to a very heavy and thick metal; I think it is aluminum. It might be steel? I can take a picture of it next time I am out in my garage if that would help.

Thank you so very much for the kind words. Yeah, my whole car has been changed over to LED's and electroluminescent lighting. Im sure my car is drawing less power with the change in lighting, plus 9 years ago i redid the fuse box and other elecrical grounds for better electrical flow and have a 140 amp alternator from DPI. The head lights fit perfect into the factory buckets and nothing was cut. The only real change I had to do was for the outer headlights that are a low beam Anaheim game I had to switch the two power wires around but leave the ground wire where it's at because the LEDs are reversed. I don't know why that is but that's how they are because I checked it with a test light first. It is very simple just to pluck out the pin and swap sides. I hope to see you posts with your car with the new update as well and you'll definitely benefit from the change and driving at night.

It might be a little bit I'm that is back there considering they did use a lot of that or a very mild form of Steel? I can't remember when I took my bumper off when I was redoing everything for the engine 9 years ago. Holy hell has it been that long lol

These are the same changes I want to do to my car, I've already changed to a 140 amp alternator and cleaned up all the 'rear' grounds & added an extra ground to the frame.

I just received a kit of LEDs from a DeLorean vendor, part of my to-do list, to better the electrical all over the car by spring. Also I'll be changing out my fuse box from DMC too.

I don't know if I can match some of the photos of your car, but I'll find a unique place with an interesting background, we can't just photo anywhere as our car(s) deserve good pictures all the time! (as yours does)

I'll be in touch if I encounter any troubles, driving at night and seeing............priceless!!

Again thank you and im looking forward to seeing your photos as well! My back grounds of my pics are right out in front of my house. I live out in West Virginia so there is alot of places out here for great pics. I got all my LED's from Superbrightled.com, the LED HVAC Panel from Dave McKeen and the electroluminescence from Adafruit.com.
