    how much is fairly cheap?

    i've never worked with fiberglass before, but i want to learn how. maybe i'll give it a go and then i can have you help if(when) i screw it up.

    What about some sort of covering over the light to protect the bulb?

    if i wanted to get more intricate, is there something i can fill that hole with and sculpt out the shape i want. foam of some sort?

    if i taped the whole inside, could i use some expanding foam...


    and then shape it once its finished expanding??
