I dunno, I'm not too crazy about it. It looks pretty cool, but don't know if I would do it. Especially with the red decals and the red third brake light. Could someone photoshop the red center decals out and the red third brake light to clear too?

What I was talking about was cutting the red palstic off completely, heating a piece of lexan in the oven and pushing it down over the old red lens. Once it cools I then have a clear lens to put on the chrome housing! A HARD plastic lens and not film. Then mask off the honeycomb, paint black inside and glue back onto chrome housing. If you want tinted clear, that can be done before glueing the new lens on. Anyone got a taillight sitting around? An LT or LS one would work. Better yet, anyone got one with a broken lens??!! Send it my way and I'll make a clear honeycomb lens for our 'Birds. Swat

The problem would be that the reflector would be removed. You could do RED LEDS but that still does not solve the problem.

5 minute photoshop job.

i'd probably VHT the lense.. but with a clear lense, you'd have clear (that light red LEDs).. whatever i'd black it out.

Silver bird is cool though
