Somethin' for the Jetta fans...Headlight conversion available?



Just wondering.  Now that my car is back from it's theft death bed.  WE
have redone the grill again making it all one piece.  It makes the BMW
e-36 lights look almost like they belong in the car.  I am going to see
what it would take to use my grill as the model and make a mold to try to
kit the e-36 lights.  I am trying to see how many people would be
interested in the kit if I can put it together complete for around $600.

In all fairness, to install the lights, you need to cut out the 2 inner
core supports to clearance for thw wider BMW lights, and there is about a
1 inche deep cut you need to make on the inner fender/engine compartment
joint in order to clearance the outside of the lights.  Those are the
only 2 real mods that were made to the car.  It will fit with the stock
air box in, I put mine back in for my smog check, but it is a much easier
fit with a p-flo type set up.

I still don't have a final price for the grill mold, so I am just
guessing at the total kit cost, but I thought I would try to find what
kind of interest level there is at the same time.
