Thanks, the Lemans headlight setup was ridiculously expensive 10 years ago when I got mine, and they didn't come with the mounting hardware so I had to rig the actual headlights in there.
Now I think they're a little easier to find but still way expensive.
Now I'm scared to death something will happen to the covers, but what can you do?
I recommend going to a car show and talking to some of the guys that have satin paint. Get a look at it up close. I'm sure it shows dust in the paint, but it is more forgiving of bodywork flaws as well.

the pro's: much less money than a decent paintjob; applied in less than a day typically; looks like paint; is completely removable without damaging your paint; actually protects your paint underneath (some people apply clear vinyl wrap to protect against rock chips, scratches);
the cons: isn't permanent (though that may be a good thing if you tire of the look down the road); may lift off paint if it's not in good shape?
anyway: check out this company that sells 3M auto vinyl. they also have a shop in the Los Angeles area that will wrap your car for you:

if it's good enough for a Lamborghini Gallarado it's good enough for a shark, no?
anyway... some food for though!

what about vinyl wrapping your car? I was actually just doing some research on this again earlier today. this might be an option for you.
