i had that idea, but the 240sx headlight doors are bigger and slant sharply on the front lip... also we run a 4x6 headlight and a 240sx runs a 5x7 so the headlight itself isnt even the same...but i do have an extra set of headlights in the shop... so i may make some alot like them but i wont get to that in time for the MACG this year...

i might get a 240 lamp cover to check out the difference and see what is up

i liked the first shot, but not really digging the other ones.

i think if you would have a smooth cover and the bubbles would stick out that would be tight..but with the paint you can see like a checker board pattern with circles in it..

fill in the cracks to smooth it out, then paint it

theese are rough, but i have the MACG to contend with. so im needing to throw a prototype together.  i was thinking of streching a piece of fleece from a fabric store over them, and cutting the circles out.. then coating the fleece in fiberglass resin, then sanding it smooth. then painting it......
but yea the checker board and the light through arround the lights has got its days numbered...

R32 Skyline...

all skyline model lights are the same..i love it when i see it on ebay and it says GTR...they were the same.people pay more for a name sometimes..those led ones cost about 200 though. factory ones can be found for about 30-50 most of the time now
