    Thank you.

    Cut the side lights off the stock plate mount and moulded the sides. Filled the hole in the body. Used a piece of PVC that was exactly the right diameter (and color!) for the roundel base. Cut it at an angle and put a couple holes for white LED's running off the stock powersource.
