Re: headlight conversion
also finding a shop wouldn't be a problem...if you saw the latest import tuner with that gold crx, you can see it has a pann auto sticker decal....that shop is my local shop around here and they are respectable for body and engine work. i can prolly get an inquiry from them because they do good work. <BR>so i can't mold urethane or fiberglass to the stock mx3 body?

Re: headlight conversion
you can mold fiberglass or urathane to metal on the car but molding fiberglass to urathane will probably show lines or flaws and it will most likely crack were you mold it.
