Not sure if I explained it well but if you fiddle with it the idea will come. I just wish I had more time to make custom glass parts.
that sounds like the easiest way to do it, clay is easy to sand and mold to what you want. how is foam? not as hard but how easy is it to work with?

this is what it should look like at the end, just look at the headlights not the rest. there will be less of a gab between too.
