Jonny....great work! Can't wait to see them installed. These look awesome even with the lens taken apart.

You work with carbon fiber for a living or just a hobby? Either way it turned out amazing.

I doubt that would work. The heat from ur headlights would cause the vinyl to lift, wrinkle, distort etc...

Heads up. The OP hasn't posted in this thread since last October. I too would like to see the finished and installed pics, but people have been posting on this the last two days like the initial post was recent?

Hes active in the ISC section, he hasnt installed these yet, he mentioned on his build thread it didnt come out the way he wanted it

the CF headlights are sitting in a box in the garage somewhere waiting to be reassembled.

Parts of the CF resin was "cloudy".. so i wasnt happy with how it turned out.. i was meaning to send it back to my CF guys to redo.. but just forgot about it.
