Burn N' Up got me thinking about the clear plastic thing, and I just thought

of something I would REALLY like to make for the MKIII that's bothered me for

awhile...

A headlight conversion kit.

There's something about those flip-up lights that bugs me. I can just hear all

you guys out there gasping, but I think a set of perma lights would look great!

Like this 300ZX...

Anyways, how many on here would be interested in this? Please post or PM!

Cheers,

-=Littlestan=-

awsome! while the pop up lights ARE a supra thing, they kinda bug me too. i think on this matter though you either hate them or love them

i love my pop up lights, but at the same time, i could part with them to maybe see them converted to the 300 style. but i would have to see what it looks like on a supra before i make a drastic change.

Hey guys,

Managed to find a pic of a Supra with exactly the type of headlight

conversion I'm looking for.

Also, today I begin building my first mold! I decided to go with door sills as my

first project. Straight forward design, and if I do bugger up (not like that's

ever happened... :P) it won't cost me heaps of $$$.

I'll take pics of the almost completed shop as well.

Cheers!,

i was just thinking to myself, how about cf engine components? like maybe cam covers or timing belt cover or stuff like that. fan shroud, you get the idea.

Hey all!,

Ok, sorry to take so long in posting progress, but I got ALOT of stuff done

lately. Namely;

1. Completed my door sill molds, and made my first pair! These are the first

versions of the sills, and as such I didn't bother sanding/clearcoating them.

Just wanted to make sure they get the nod of approval from you guys before

making a zillion pairs. These will cost around $100 CDN. Not set in stone yet,

but there it is.

2. Finished the shop! All that's left to do is wiring, but for now I have a temp

setup that gives me the power I need. Ready to start working!

Ok, now for answers.

j3pz, I think that's a great idea! I would have to research the high

temperature epoxies that are out there, but it's definitely do-able.

I need opinions on what I should make next! I was thinking a replacement

front windshield trim piece (see pic) or the rear hatch interior piece (see pic).

What do you guys think?
