yea they are a lil hazy, plus the pic doesnt help any. Thats my fault though...i got distracted while one was soaking, and it hazed it up. The second came out perfect, but i had to haze it too to make them look the same. Maybe i can score some taillights from somewhere and do it again. O well... live and learn.

Aside from the haziness, they're pretty cool.

Or just cut them out of a ZipZap's box. Why use Lexan when most plastics will work? If you belong to a club like Costco most of the packaging is thick plastic, just use that.

What did you cut them with and how did you get them to bend on the corner like that? Do you think you could make a set for the skyline front end?

I did this rather than trying to remove the red from the stock lenses, because the nail polish remover or whatever usually clouds the plastic.

wow maybe i should delete my pic, i don't think they deserve to be on the same thread as bc's! :-D Yea I had heard of bc making clear lenses, but i couldnt find the thread. I figured it would cloud up the lenses, but they seem pretty simple to make new ones, so I wasn't too worried about it. Btw, great lookin car there BC.
