Default Street Legal Sprint Car Build- Need ideas

Hello guys, we race 360 winged sprint cars. I'm building a custom street legal, in-line two seat sprint, that will look just like our racer. It will be used as a tool, to inform people with our cause, "Racers Against Texting While Driving". I have already posted a thread about my niece dieing while texting. If you want to read about her accident and the plans to utilize this sprint, here is the link.

We built the first single seat, sprint for a customer. It turned out very well and photo's are below. The purpose of this thread, is to gain ideas on some of the customizing, and to refine the car.

Headlights, turn signals & brake lights-

HEADLIGHTS-

The normal round headlight's look too large, like a big BUG.
The smaller rectangle's look better, but not great.

Are there any removable "quick disconnect" headlight's on the market for like Hot Rods ?

It would have to be simple, and not a pain in the @ss to unbolt/un-clamp.

TURN SIGNALS-

The sprint car bumper below, would be great to french-in signals. A few years ago, I saw a Hot Rod that the signals were shaped as arrow's, and looked great, but I don't recall how they were cut and what were used for a lens and light ?

BRAKE LIGHTS-

The same french-in applies here also. Either in the "down tubes" or in the rear bumper. Look at the photo's and shoot me some ideas.
