Hey List, I've been kicking around the idea of buying some of the AeroFlow lens covers, I've also looked at the Rockblocker film. Well, this morning it was raining so I went into my garage and found out that I had a creative bug up my arse. I have an old pair of lens covers for my old british car that were just laying around in my garage. So, I took them out to the FJ to see if they were the correct size for the FJ's Lens. They are!
How I did it:
Took an old pair of Lens Covers and drilled some holes in them.
Cut tabs down, and filed edges.
Primed them.
Painted them.
Hung them.
Not bad.
I like them, they should offer good protection from rocks.
AeroFlow Lens covers $50.00 or more. Rock Blocker Film$??.??
An old pair of lens covers laying around in the garage on a rainy morning, some paint, a few screws, a little fabrication, and...
A free pair of Lens Covers that took me about 30 minutes to make, PRICELESS!
Go to Ace Hardware and get screws with a Hex head or at least Square Drive - the phillips heads make it look cheap. I rarely say anything, but since that can be done for .50 .... otherwise - very creative work there.

I like my tabs. And, I don't care about the screw heads. I also like knowing that I won't need to remove the entire plastic peace everytime I want to clean my headlight lenses off. And by far the part I like the best is this was FREE. Thanks for the positive comments.
