Hi, looking at little cosmetic mods for my TH.
I was wondering on dimensions and how hard it would to make a set of eyes for my car, it doesnt have parabolica headlights either unlike dads sports but I would still like it. And I am no good with making things like that lol. The pictures are on my page of the car at the moment and things that have been done to it. Just need opinions. Thanks in advance =)

Have a search for eyelids. They tend to be fibreglass and many people want them.

Do you know how to work with fiberglass? Its not to difficult, it takes a little bit of practice and patience to do a reasonable job, but setting up with all the required materials can be expensive in small amounts, and the resins and gel coats can have a short life, especially if not stored properly, so buying in bulk isn't always a good idea. Im trying to sort something out to get a few sets of eyelids going and depending on success may make some other models. When I tried to make the moulds for the 2nd gen it got through the wax layer and stuck to my indicators, tearing the middle of the indicator lens out when I tried to seperate them, so be careful sticking stuff to your car.
