I got new rim put on today.. and got a chance to do some close up pics...
Heres the DIY:
1.I first made a templet of the housing with a cardboard..
2. Then i traced the card board on to some mdf wood i had
3. Wrapped the wood with fleece and applied the resin
4. Then i took out the fiberglassed pieces, cut them, sanded them, and added bondo..sanded again.. a lot of sanding
5. Primed, painted, cleared, and wet sand..

Yeah, I'm not big fan of add on LED's. I see the most rediculous cars driving around with LED's in NY. Dodge caravan's old Accords, and other rediculous "candidates". I always get a laugh out of them. As if those LED's are going to "make a benz out of that datsun" LOL. But you actually did pull it off well, and they do look like they belong there. Very nice work!
