Right now they are held on with some 3M Velcro. I haven't had any problems with that either. They are pretty easy to take off when I washed the car last weekend.
At some point I will use some thin sheet metal and make a bracket out of it. Then mount it down to the headlight assembly.
Just drill some holes in the plexiglass covers so I can screw it down.
That is what I want to do for a permant mount.

Okay I get the idea. What are the odds you'd be able to snag a pic for me next time you take em off?

I might have to try the covers this wayOriginally Posted by Nates94
I still haven't rigged up a good way on how mount it. I have looked at how some F-body guys have mounted theirs and I think I might do something with a 1/4 fastener and a small metal strip.
Something like this.
I polsihed out the plenum today. I started with the bottom piece to see what it might look like.
After a bit more work than I wanted to do it came out like this.

Took some pictures of the GP while up at the new house this weekend.
One of the house and VW:
I borrowed a small quad and did some exploring on the property.
I love it out in the country.

Well thank god her dad is helping or else we'd be up **** creek without a paddle on getting a house. Her dad said he'd do the same thing her grandfather did with him which is buy the house, or in his case leave the family farm, and we'll pay him til the day he dies and he'll leave the house to us in his will if its not completely paid off
