Looks like considerable work needs to be done for the fender to fit the shape of the headlight as well, correct?

i like where you're going, i like the tail lights with what you got going on in your sig. I'm interested to see how it looks with the m4 rear because it looks really well with the m3 rear. I think if you went m3 rear/f10 lights and m4 front that would be neat

that is a really great mod. Do the headlights at least mount with the corresponding FX brackets. I can't tell you how tempting this is in my XI sedan.
