Albert,
Where did you pick up fiberglass laminated sheets? Are they easy to work with? ie. Will they bend if you use a heat gun on them?

As for the grille, I have some fiberglass laminate sheets lying around, maybe I can figure that out later.

Easy to work with, well it depends. You can epoxy the parts together, but heat is definitely not good for the epoxyy that is used to manufacture the sheets. The stuff is a laminate...fiberglass cloth impregnated and pressed into sheets. They might not bend with high temp, but might actually start to burn.
What do you need it for? I know of places where you could obtain it in large quantities. They also have carbon fiber laminate if you desire that.

they look good and I thought about them before I started my 2k2 audi S4 project... but I really wanted projection so I gave up on them.
here is a pic of my lights at their current stage... I should be done by spring with the grill etc...
EDIT: don't email about how to do this unless you are ready to drop $2000 on the project...

Thanks for the info. I thought they might save me some work for my audio install. If they would bend when after heated, I could contour them to odd shapes inside my trunk.

Sorry boss, I obtained them from work. We had a few scraps left from an erosion coating test and I scrounged some pieces originally intended for me to make some chassis parts for my RC car.

yes and no, im willing to help people out and stuff. BUT, i dont think its right when people ask for writeups and demand all these answers basically lookin for the easy way. i work and think hard to do some innovative things. Thats what makes me feel that my Max is unique from others.

Re: 1 piece Cefiro headlights installed on my Max
Updates for Matthal's car with photos above.
Reviews:
1. No outter fender modification to fit.
2. Need to make special bracket to fit the stock grilles
3. Need to trim some metal parts inside the fender/besides the headlight mounting brackets
4. Need to remove the weather strip.
5. Looks like a better fit than BMW 3-seris headlights on the 3rd gen.. probably because this products made for the same family
Results:
1. Cefiro One piece headlights fitting on the 4th Gen Maxima
2. H-4 output (better beam pattern)
3. Built-in City Lights
4. Pretty nice fit with some minor mods

TEST RESULT: PASSED! CONGRADULATION!!
