ZG headlight covers

[bullzed]

I know that the genuine ZG headlight covers are beyond expensive, but I was wondering how hard it would be to make some out of acrylic. Anyone heard of aftermarket ZG headlight covers being made up?

Aftermarket ones are everywhere. They are fairly cheap too. MSA has them and so do eBay stores.

I can't find them on MSA or on eBay apart from these:

Can you link me?

My bad. I didn't realise you meant aftermarket covers with the chrome moulding.  Yes, they are hard to find and expensive!!

Those eBay ones are the best price I have seen for a long time! That's providing you can get them at that price. ZCCJDM does the lenses but not the stainless surrounds

I'm actually not a huge fan of the stainless surrounds anyway.

And especially at those prices.......

I'm really not fussed on the chrome mouldings, I just wanted the lens itself. ZCCJDM you say?

 

EDIT: Holy moly, $450 for non-genuine without the chrome mouldings? Why so expensive when standard headlight covers for the S30 are about $150 to your door? Would anyone be prepared to create some?

 

Would it be a silly thought to make a mould that fits into the headlight bucket and follows the original body lines, then get a sheet of acrylic, heat it in boiling water then lay it over said mould to create a headlight cover? Anyone have a professional opinion or any ideas regarding this?
