  • Full Faced light covers?

    Has anyone ever made full faced light covers that would start at the inner turn signal, and end at the outers so that all 3 lights would be proctected? I did a search and only came up with the basic headlight covers. I wonder how hard it would be to make a some, and where would you mount them? I am just trying to come up with a way to protect that outer passanger marker lamp from basic damage....

        That should put the "Marital Bliss Meter" in the red zone!

          They work great for drying high temp engine paint as well. Doesn't leave the kitchen smelling to good though.

            My buddy and I have been thinking of something along these lines too. I need a nice set of markers but being realistic and not wishing to sell my soul to acquire them I must use my shatty ones. We're thinkin about airbrushing them. Sounds cheesy yes but he's wicked with an airbrush and since my buddy who put the markers in the nose used rtv to hold them in and one fell out losing the orange reflective piece in the corner we think what the heck. Anyone done anything creative with the markers?

              The trouble with that is you have to know exactly what temp you need, and it will take some experimentation. Too cool, and the sheet will cool too much to bend by the time you get it out to the garage to do your work. I guess you would have to make a form and set it in the oven, too.

              Too hot, and the plexiglass will either shrink and deform, or you will be chipping black blobs out of the bottom of your oven while your wife whacks you on the back of the head with a fly swatter (or something a little heavier) and yelling "Bad boy!" "Melting plastic in the oven is bad!"

              ...... or so I have been told. ;-)

                I turned on the oven once and then went to put in dinner only to find all our tupperwear melted on the racks! The wife put them in to dry! Then was mad at me for not checking before I turned it on! But bending plexiglass in the oven is not that bad my dad and brother made lots of cones and radiuses that way! Worked out real nice!

                  Did a similar thing....turned the oven on and the plastic cake box that was in the bottom drawer caught fire.
