    How hard would it be to make a corner light filler? I was thinkin you could cut the basic design out then tack it on in a few places then bend it around the fender and keep tacking it so it stays then once it's fully bent complete the tacking

    I would attempt to bend it into shape as best as you can 1st, then tack it on.

    Ya I was thinkin tht aswell. It's probably not tht hard and definitely cheaper than spending 100$ on the grant kustoms ones

    are you set on making them yourself? grant kustoms offers them with the compound curves added, but i know they're like $100.

    it's gunna take some time, a mallet and sand bag can make a decent filler if your patient. i'd make it as close as possible to avoid a ton of filler.

    dang it you posted while i was typing... :lol:
