The Story!
When I got the car, the previous owner had hinged the lights but had not installed the cable actuation system (he just had springs keeping the panels up). Noticing fiberglass fatigue and not entirely sold on the "stock" system, I decided to put on Lexan covers instead. I did however configure a mounting system which did not cause any external holes or markings on the body and retained the flaps in the event I decide to restore it to the "stock" configuration. The last picture shows a closer view of how it looked after I changed from the two round sealed beam lights to a single rectangular halogen light in spring of 2009. In the summer of 2010 I added the black trim around the covers.
