These are simple covers formed by a hand made press. The grille is formed to match the curves of the light cover. I plan on making 9 covers for the front of the VX:
2 for the turn signals
2 for the running lights
2 for the bumper space by the Lic plate
3 for the grille area (plan on keeping the VX Fangs there)
Here is a pic of the wooden press made. First make a card board cutout, then make a match out of a piece of wood, then the outer mold. A Jig saw and a large file is all I used. After that a simple vise or C Clamps work as the press. Be careful if using softter wood (like plywood), it may break or crack.
I plan in the long run to order new covers for the turn signals. Originally I was planing on replacing them with smoke lens, now I am leaning towards clear covers.
What does the rest of the VX community think? clear or smoke?
