How much of that are you going to mold? The whole thing will be a bear,but if your going to just make the cups,I would make a plaster cast of them,finish them (the plaster) with laquer pull glass parts from those.Use canuba wax as a release(wax the snot out of them)
Where in Ne. are you?I'm in Cozad.Have used the above process to make 2 r90 BMW fairings worked OK ,not great. Gimpy

Sorry, I have'nt got any progress pics yet as I have been helping my parents sheet rock their bedroom. Plus I have'nt really messed with them since I've been thinkin about making molds, don't want to paint them then get something on them that the paint don't like.
DvsDev - the markers are part of the big rounds
gimpy - I was just thinkin about making the cups. That's a prety trick idea for doing molds. I'm in Scottsbluff.

To hold the palstic parts together? I used extra plastic to weld it all together.

no after you cut the turn signal/brake light seperator, what is the red stuff on your tail lights that you used to create to new bowls...?

dude... i looked into this site... damn! if you picked up all the stuff from them to do everything professionally, i.e. pressure pot, vacuum pot, and enough rubber to make the two molds, one for each side, and enough liquid plastic that they have to make several sets of tail lights and sold them for you know like 50 a set for just the housing you could make back your money on the equipment and supplies... i wish i had the funding or i would tell you guys that im starting business! lol
