I saw the box used on youtube. Some guy in a fab shop did it with 2 heat guns.
Sorry I don't know how to quote yet!!

Okay,
A picture tells a thousand words, so here it goes. To fill the dimples just use body filler, I use Lizard Skin body filler. It works great. Make sure when you fill the dimples you leave enough to sand down flush. As the stuff dries it sinks into the dimple, moisture leaving the filler.



This is the piece that needs to be cut, be careful and take your time!! You need to cut it as close to the grey as you can with out damaging it.




To remove the clear plastic I settled on using this:




You want to leave an 1/8 of an inch lip around the bezel all the way around.





The front side just needs to be flush. That's the side you will use to epoxy the halo on.. Currently there is no way to recede the halo. It will just be attached on the outside of the plastic. Making the plastic smooth will give you a cleaner look at the seam.



When you think your close try a test fit.. You DO NOT want the lens to sit flush on the bezel, there needs to be a 3/16th gap between the bezel and the lens. That gap will allow the halo to sit flush when you mount it later to the front of the bezel. The gap keeps the lens from push the halo out. The halo wont sit flush on the plastic if you try to flush mount the G35 Lens. There will be a gap between the lens and the plastic; its okay. Will discuss mounting it all when I do it, I'll take lots of pictures.



This looks good, now I'll move to the the halo clearances.
