Mattel... I was going for the invisible look. This is for the ABS bodies. I do not know if it can be adapted for the fiberglass bodies.
Cutting the cover out and shaping it only takes about 30 minutes. Taking the headlight assembly out took less than 30 minutes. Putting it back together took about 4 hrs. I put in a few screws and snugged them up but, the lens would not stay tight. I found out that some of the screws missed the hole, the threads were actually holding against the sides of the tab. I used a mirror and a led light mounted between my eyes to check the location of the screw holes so I wouldn't miss them. It is amazing how nice it fits when you hit the hole. Once you get it started you can start tightening them up. The lens should fit in the grove between the outer shell of the headlight assembly and not move.
