Cinq Light masks

I've seen the afterburner style ones for the rear that lester make, but does anyone know of a company that does front light masks.
By that I don't mean "light brows" - but more like this:

Had though about making my own but I dont even know where to start.

Ideally I was looking for something quite subtle - just to maybe cover the join where the indicator meets the headlight, and possibly a small (10mm) border around the lights.....

vacuum forming would no doubt be the easiest way. Take the lenses of some original lamps and use them as the mould (or if they start to melt, make a mould over the front of the lens and then make a mould of the inside of that mould.) Then just trim, cut out and sand the design you want, then paint.

Re: Cinq Light masks

Sorry fella, i don't do this type of stuff anymore, only carbon fibre bits and pieces, and theyd be expensive to develop. I only really do fabrication and machining now, and im completely stocked out with work on manky cosworths and Delta pieces. Bad_boy_cinq might want a go at it, as we used to do the bodywork side of things together, but work commitments and poor couriers made us stop doing it really.

Skinz - thanks for the reference though, and i still do all the other cars bits if anyone needs something made up
