Default thoughts on turn signals?

im not really a huge fan of the stock front turn signals in the 65/66 valance, and i was looking for some ideas on other ways to do turn signals?
i plan on modifying the stock front valance anyways so any ideas will be considered

i would like to find a way to make it look like they do not appear at all, possibly setting them back into a bezel behind the valance, and covering the hole with a fine screen the same color as the valance or black..? thoughts?

You can maybe modify the valance to make it more 69/70 style

don't mind the old pic

I have never seen smoked lenses, but I have clear ones.

Modifications like installing halogen headlamps or mag wheels are a lot different than what you are suggesting, 66. creating turn sigs is changing the basic design of the car. I don't think it's a good idea.

4reboy, you probably know this, but the pony grill ornament on your 69 is misplaced.It should be one or tho holes towards the driver's side.

If you look around you can find some different ideas. This is from a quick search. I know it is from a motorcycle but it is small and it comes in different colors. You would have to fab it in your car. I will make some flush ones for the front to go with my custom rear tail lights. http://www.surfsidemoto.com/store/product/PMGLWAL.html

I've never seen them, but maybe you could check out tinting places and see if they could do it for you.
