Default reconditioned LT1 grid tail lights

Now first off, I am a complete idiot for tinting these perfect condition lights. Now that I know how hard they are to come by with no delamination, broken studs or cracks...tint will not get anywhere near these as long as I have them.

I realize that the pictures are of opposite sides, but the befores looked exactly the same with cracking tint and clear. I only did one today and forgot to take a before pic so I took one of the other side which is no diff.
Before:

after: 3 hours of elbow greese, using 600grit,800,1500,2000, and 3m headlight restore.

yeah these are just too hard to come by to ruin them..im going to try and find a set of v6 lights and tint them.
i wish I had a better camera, cause this does it no justice..hardly any flaws.
but man, that tint is a real dog to get off.
