Default L88 headlights.

I've been gone for awhile and right before i left there was alot of talk about the L88 headlights, is anyone producing them yet? I'd like to pick up a set for my 80, i wrecked it over the summer and i'm getting ready to get it fixed and i need new headlights so i'd like to pick up a set of the L88 headlights.

Your best bet is to just buy the covers (about $250) and make your own buckets....the template is floating around here somewhere and you save yourself a bundle.

Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you my bucket template. You'll have to buy the covers, only jclgodale03 has been able to make his own and he's not making any more.

Default headlight covers

If anyone has some good photos and dimensions for the covers, I have a thermoform machine and could reproduce them. Would also be interested in brackets, might make them in fiberglass. Any help would be appreciated.

If I buy them you could make a few extra sets for me? In case I crash or change color?

How Would I make the molds? Same process as for making carbon fiber molds I take it

If I had a set of the covers, or some really good drawings with dimensions, I could build a thermoform tool to produce them. I have a 30"x36" thermoformer and 20 years forming experience, so that would be no problem.
