Tinted Camaro corners

I was bored this evening so I figured I would use some of the polycarbonate my wife brings home from work. I didn't think they would turn out as good as they did but damn, I like em. Made a template from cardboard and then transfered it to the polycarb. Once they were cut I tinted them with window tint on the inside. They fit perfect and can be taken off pretty easy. Thin 2 sided tape at each end. No I'm not a cheap *** I just wanted somthing different. Comments appreciated wether good or bad.

Here is a shot with the parking lights on.

Decided to make rears also.

Looks great. I would like to have my rear corner lights tinted, but I might send them out. Water dripping out of them would drive me nuts after a wash. If you look in my pics, you can see that my front lenses are tinted. They are the old school GTS covers that velcro right on. Pretty much the same idea, nice work.
