I don't, but if you wanted to make a mold and send it to me, I could make a couple covers for you.

I have a 10 lie minimum before I might state my opinion(s). I see no lies here. I see someone doing an excellent job.

I'm running into an issue with the lenses. The originals I made for my car had some small pock marks on the inside of the lens after they came off of the mold. I figured it was from the MDF molds having bits of wood fibers sticking up, so that's why I remade them in aluminum. The problem is, the pock marks persist, even with the aluminum molds. I don't think it's dust because I've cleaned the living daylights out of everything. The marks are not really noticeable on the smoked ones but they show up more on the clear ones. The outer surface of the lens is smooth as glass, it's the inside that's giving me fits. I really don't want to sell them like they are so I'm going to take a little more time to get them perfect before I make them available.

Preheat your molds and dry your acrylic. Acrylic is hygroscopic. If it is fresh, you may not need to do this, but if it has been sitting for a long time the sheets can absorb moisture and will need to be dried. Also, If your molds are cold, they will create moisture pockets when the hot acrylic hits the aluminum.
You can also do a thin sheet of styrene first, and pull over that.[This message has been edited by Slammed (edited 01-17-2016).]
