I don't see how I can make a cover for the bottom half.. Well, It'd have to cover the whole assembly for that to work... =(

i didnt read much in this thread. but i know there is a compound you can use to buff the glass. do you know the name of that compound? . i saw it on the speed channel..... it starts with an R. but i do know you use a felt buffing bit on a multi-speed drill.

As far as fiberglassing, I was just thinking the same thing while I was in the bathroom. I can fiberglass near the back end of the projector assembly and have it go around the stock reflector.
I'll buy some fiberglass tmrw when the stores are open and hopefully have some more pics by then

I have notice the FD fog lights are useless. I just assumed they were too weak. I am skeptical that polishing hem (inside?) would help much. Maybe a higher wattage xenon bulb in there would make a difference?

I didnt get a chance to get the fiberglassing kit and I'm going to be out of town this weekend. I'll try to see if I can get something done on Tuesday and post up some pictures

I would suggest you to go and buy the ebay clear lenses instead of trying to polish the fd lenses.Even the smallest scratch inside the lens distorts the light output.Been there done that.

Alrite, so i suck at fiberglassing so dont laugh! Actually, i think it's more resin than fiberglass lol, but that cuz I got the stupidass jelly instead of the liquid resin... oh well live and learn
Here's my fiberglass cover. I plan on jbwelding the bottom and the top to create a nice seal.
