Removable headlight covers
Covers were sanded down and primed so far.
These do not require removal of your current headlights, they kinda reach around the bottom of the headlight creating a little hook action, and then I'll attach something on top so I can secure it to the chassis with a plastic fastener like the ones used on the front bumper. Or maybe just use a little velcro along the top.
What do you guys think? Mostly for track use, but will be used other times as well.
I ditched my first one, as it came out a bit uneven. So I redid the one and did the other side one as well. Here are updated pics.
primed.
sealed. Dries dull.
Color + clear coat.
Installed

The cloth I got from Wal-Mart.
I used tinfoil to cover the headlight. It came right off the headlight, but some of the tinfoil is stuck to the headlight.
After I paint it, I'll be lining the inside of it with felt or any other kind of thin, soft material.

Got it sanded down and primed with a flexible, thick, filling primer to fill all the imperfections. Tomorrow I'll be sanding it smooth and waiting until I catch up with the other to paint them both House of Kolor gloss black.
Tomorrow I need more supplies to do the other headlight

Why!? You've got a $30K car -- get a 3M clear bra installed. OR a more common & inexpensive track solution is blue painter's tape. About $3 & a 10 minute job to tape both headlights.

Interesting project. How will you be flashing the car ahead of you when you want to pass?
That would be a good 'mod' to have for long road trips or whatever.

Dave, would you be interested in something like this?
