Alright guys, I scored a G nose, that I am excited about.. still haven't found the right car yet. But I like to plan things ahead.
Got an idea on how to do the lens bought a sheet of lexan from home depot that I will try to shape and trim . Then for the chrome ring, I was thinking about universal molding trim that they sell at auto stores and online http://www.ebay.com/itm/20mm-Chrome-Molding-Trim-dash-door-Side-Roof-VOLKSWAGEN-/290669394937?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43ad3efbf9&vxp=mtr.
I am hoping that with a lil heat manipulation these will be able to conform to the tighter radius bends around the front.
I am trying to figure out what size in MM would work best to match the actual metal frames.
Here is initial measurement of the headlight bucket just to give an idea.
Here is a general idea of what 15mm strip would look like
20mm
and 18mm
Now from what I see on ebay, 20 and 15 are widely available. 17-18 looks like it is harder to find in that size. Haven't checked local stores, since I would assume ebay and online would be cheaper.
What size do you guys think is close judging from reference pictures?
