After about 6 moths of this thing collecting dust, I've finally installed it. It's an NAPA air duct hedlight cover I purchased from GregW on teamfc3s.org. Nicely done fibreglass, very light. Cheap too, It only cost me $50 including shipping. See link here.



It took me a couple of hours, I had to drill out the screws holding the original headlight cover on. They were covered, head to threads, in about three coats of paint.



Check out some pics...



The cover....
