Fabricating new Growler fog light covers....opinions
4 Attachment(s)
This is something I may or may not do,
But as several of us know, just a couple of years ago you could get a pair of black growler covers for your OEM Hella fog lights for 30.00. Today this is what they are going for : http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...d=141421622770 300.00 dollars+! Which is an abomination. Anyway, the reason for my post is because I have several brand new identically shaped Hella fog light covers. They are , however, white and have the HELLA logo in front. I am wanting to turn these into a replica of the Jaguar covers for my personal use, and wanted to ask what you guys tought. Painting them matte black with a high quality permanent plastic paint should be simple enough as well as sanding the 3D Hella logo of , but what do you guys think I should use for the "growler" ? Here are my options : 1-wheel badges-these could word if I can flatten them properly. I can get 4 for 10 dollars Attachment 156503 2-small grill growler-these are a little more expensive and may be "too much" Attachment 156504 3-decals #1 -don't really care for these too much but they are an option Attachment 156505 4-decals #2-these look the most original. Very similar to the one in the original cover. May just be too small.. Attachment 156506 Any advise is welcome! |
Mark,
Decal 1 is definitely much closer to the original logo that I have on my original Jaguar covers. Looking forward to seeing the results as i'm interested in creating a spare set from some white Hella covers that i have also. Paul |
I wonder how much 3D printing would cost. You could add growler. If you sold some sets it might offset cost. I would take a set if not to much. If ten people want them it might be cost effective.
Just an idea. |
the first one would probably only look good if you could recess it. The second would probably be fine, since the point is that is it 3d. A sticker may look cheesy.
Personally if I were set on the growler ( I think the leaper logo or the jaguar logo would look great too) I would make a stencil and paint it in flat paint. If you have white covers, I would paint the matte/flat black and make a stencil in semi gloo white or BRG of the growler, Jaguar logo, or leaper logo. But if you are set on the white a semi gloss black stencil over the white could look good too, |
Thanks guys for the replies.
I think that the stickers might indeed look cheesy. I think I will options 1 and 2 and see what I can come up with. |
