Default Dummy headlights?

I've started to build a track front bumper for track only use and was wondering if anyone knows of a company or a person who makes dummy headlights? I swear I've seen them in the past but can't find anything, they're black in color and plastic.

The application will be for a 94-97 USDM DC2 front bumper, thanks.

I'm probably going to fab something up if I can't find anything for my DA like this. I was looking for the covers but I doubt I'll find them for DA's so I thought I would gut my old jdm one-pieces (that are no good anyway because of leaks, yellowing and broken headlight connectors) and just use the shell with some aluminum "straps" that bolt up to the factory locations and then tape them up on the front.

EDIT: yep, they don't even have Acura in their drop down menu.

The company you gave me are like caps that cover up the OE headlights, the ones I'm thinking of actually replace the whole OE unit. Thanks anyway though buddy.

I always thought you take the caps and fab up some sheet metal strips, attach them to the caps and bolt them down in the factory location. That's what I'd do. Better weight reduction too.

Yeah true, both will weight close to the same, the plastic weighs hardly anything, guess the solid plastic piece will be a little more solid.

The search continues.

Since OEM's are glass, why not pick up a cheap set of ebay black lens headlights. You could crack them open and and remove everything but the lens and the housing (with brackets). That should be pretty light, and easy to do. You could even cut out the highbeam section of the lens for a little breathing room for your Mugen airbox.

Is this for your R?

Interested as well.

What I planed on doing was purchasing a used set of Halo lights from a local ricer or whatever and gutting them along with blacking them out.

Get some black ABS and use some silicone and just make them yourself.

Look at the Old RTR/ taz harvey/Michael galati DC2 integras to get an idea of what i am talking about
