Default Clear Grids

Found these in TN. I love them but they'll go back in the box for now. Maybe car show tails🤔

Car will be losing spoiler and the black soon but I figured the bright red bright chrome and the clear would pair up nicely. Like I said only bought for cool and rare factor. Regular grids will be going back on

These are easy to make. You just put a set of good stock grids in the oven for a few min to loosen the glue, pull them apart, and the red lenses just fall out. Then you just put them back together without the red lenses. I did this to one light successfully but the other one came apart on me.

Funny,,,,, just sold a 94 Formula and guy who come to get it said his friends girlfriend lived in town on Marketplace ad! They told her go get them but guy was out of town and I began sending him messages and it spanned 2 weeks before he finally got them in the mail! I snatched them for 450$ That's a hell of a deal in my book!

Yeah hindsight is 2020 on those. I really want to make a set of reverse honeycombs and they would be so much easier to work with. But if I gotta spend that kind of money, I could mold a set of 98-02 and make casts......... That's just a lot of work haha

Well, I attempted it before the prices on them went nuts. Actually, the one that melted was already delaminating and thats what I was trying to fix. The part that needs to come off to do clear grids doesn't require a lot of heat. You could probably do it with a heat gun.
