I have to order more supplies. I was hoping to have them almost done for "mock-up" pictures this weekend but I'm short a little on materials. Thanks.

I am making the templates now and I have about 4 more pieces to make. After that, I will have to finish the template pieces and after that, I will have the prototype finished. The good news is, as soon as the prototype is finished, I can begin production!!! Thanks, Adam

TEASE/PROTOTYPE :)

Okay, so I did a test fit tonight. Pretty darn close, but still needs work. Please comment, good and bad. I am an artist, but not so sensitive.

only drawback is figuring out an easy way to change the sealed beams when they burn out. plus i wouldn not like to start selling kits till i have experience with unknown potential problems that i may encounter.

Are you going to use round bulbs? Those would look better than square ones IMO

well, the 3rd gen would look great with round ones. in my opinion, the 2nd gen has a kind of more square theme going for it. If i had the round tail lights to go with them, then i may consider changing them over to round ones but thats what my taste is. It all depends on what one likes i guess. I have some pictures here of my finished product. It has not rained yet, but i will cross my fingers till then. I think they will hold out fine, but as always i expect the worst. :P
