I just want to add that for best results, cutting of the bulkhead behind the headlight will be needed. Also boxing in your afm to block out some engine bay heat wouldn't hurt either. This is not to discourage anyone from considering this part, but more to educate ppl on how to maximize the results from it.

If you're serious, add your name to the list. This coming together, only way I could see plastic is via Paypal. Zed has me thinking hard about going the L & R plan as well.

Hey,

We have our 5 buyers so I guess that's a go! HOZZMANRX7 is nice enough to send me 2 headlights covers as models for the moulds so this is perfect!

So about pricing, it will be around the same as the pricings I do currently for Miata covers.

- Fiberglass material: one side vented : 85 USD ; both sides vented : 160 USD

- Carbon fiber material: one side vented : 140 USD ; both sides vented: 265 USD

This is without shipping but shipping will be low. 15 USD for one side, 20 USD for 2 sides.

You should make some for the drivers side aswell, just in case some RHD owners want one too!

Can you do both sides, one vented in CF and just a normal cover in CF so you have matching covers so people don't have to paint them? But not necessarily have two vented covers? It that makes sense...

Count me in for a passenger side vented cover! I've been looking for a vented headlight cover for a little while now and haven't found any that I liked. This "scoop" type is exactly what I'm looking for! Let me know what I need to do as far as payment.

Basically all options will be available. Passenger side with vent, driver side OEM, passenger side OEM, driver side with vent.

Let me get the covers first and start the GB then!
