Default Random thought.. is it possible?

Im not sure if it has every come up or not but i was thinking is it possible to remove the honeycomb from TA taillights. Im not really sure how it would look.. I know you can do the whislter mod on camaro headlights so im assuming you can take the taillights apart in about the same way. I wonder if the honeycomb part is made into the plastic or if it can be scraped off.. What do you guys think?

I took a faded taillight apart and the light is a two piece design, the reflector/housing, and the red lenses. The honeycomb pattern is built/molded into the lenses.
