The question is actually why do you think you need one for the drivers side?

usually do it for about $50 but you pay shipping and supply the head light cover or pay what the cost would be to buy one for say at like a junkyard or from someone else. they turn out pretty damn good
this is one that i did for my 86 sport that i had. i did a tri slot but had to cut part of the headlight assembly to make it fit cause of the little vent on the bottom but it worked and looked pretty damn good even put a mesh behind it

i like it better then a plain simple single slot. gives it a bit more detail to the vehicle.

^^^ agreed. fatkids opinion is harsh. any way i think it looks awsome more slots = more air i like it but ur price is a little steep. how did u do it just cut the slots and bent them alittle?

drew it, cut it, bent em so there all the same, fiberglassed it in place and bondo'd the sides in the vents, sanded down to round em off, primer and wualah. priace can usualy be differed depending on everything. i can go cheaper probably around $30 at cheapest maybe and probably can go $40 no prob
