Lightbulb TLT Skid Plates

Just got finished with these since I'm waiting on parts. I got bored and wanted to make something. Check 'em out.

Looks good. How long did it take to make and what did you use: material, tools, etc...

I was planning on doing the same thing but wasn't sure where to start.

Nice work, but seems silly to me. The TLT housing can be dremeled smooth and it slides over things much easier.

Plus it sounds good grinding plastic over rocks. Still looks good though, nice and smooth.
