Description

I couldn't find a headlight retainer clip at any of my local auto part stores for my '07 Chevy Impala, so I decided to make one and save money. This is still a draft and in testing, and it took at least a week to make. I took as precise as measurements as I could and my first draft fit perfectly so I decided to share it.
According to a little research it should fit 2006-2011 Chevrolet Impalas. If it doesn't work for one of those years please let me know.

Please not this is a working draft, but it is still a DRAFT.
I'm currently working to clean up the design and work on some reducing the layers and improving build time.
