HELP on best way to make vinyl tail light covers

Post by SirCruizer »

I just bought some cut vinyl for the tail lights on my car (Im finally getting around to modding it out), but Im not quite sure how to do it... Does anyone who has done this go with a "blue print"? Im like trying to figure out how far apart to cut the holes and the diamater the holes should be cut... Also, whats the best material to use as a "template" so I can try and error before I cut the actual vinyl.. YES, Im very detailed and stuff when I do anything to my baby. Thanks for any help that anyone can provide...

Thanks Bro!!! This is going to help alot. I didnt even think of the cup to make the circles. Hopefully I can remove and add the taillights without a problem, but doing so would defently make it easier to put the vinyl on. Ive been to your site a couple time. I really enjoyed it and its got a great layout. I guess either that how to is new or I just missed it last time. Keep up the good work.

actualy I found it alot easier to go out and buy a cheap cumpas and trace the circles on, that way so that they are perfect in circular shape and I used a ruler to base the gaps in between <BR>hope this helps
late night conversations turn into a fight, and all the years youve been frustrated finaly subside, and you walk away, to face the day, alone.
