Subject:Re: Pzwo lower grille foglights NLA - Can you say Vacuum Form?

After these are all gone, this looks like an excellent use of the vacuum
former. Make a mold of them, then vacuum form over the mold and bam! You
have an instant aftermarket US Copy of the Pzwo system. (I am sure it's not
that easy but you get the idea.. Plus while in the molding process the
design can be refined.)

Just a thought.
