Just bought a set.
The fronts are fine, but the rears are a lil too light for me. I'm gonna tint them and then re-install them. No leaks, fogging, etc. Good quality overall

I have the fronts and they were excellent. I sealed them with a little clear silicon before installing them and I've never had an issue with them. The rear ones on the other hand I don't think match very well with the fronts. They appear more grey then black for some reason.

I would definately give iron head a shout before ordering aything. I have his covers on my car and they are awesome. I used to have AVS blackouts and these top them any day of the week and they are cheaper too. I'll have to get some pics but with the whistler mod the front of the car looks mean.

They don't reflect the light....I highly recommend that you VHT your stock ones, that way they look good lit and unlit....

O, o.k. I can make these as transparent as anyone wants. Alot easier to get on and off than VHT.

3M double sided tape. I used to be in the A/B buisness so I have a big box of the good kind. Once they are on they aren't coming off unless you want them to.

clear double sided tape? Damn beat me to it.

Can you make a really light set for the rear sides? I bought smoked lenses for all four corners, and like i was saying earlier the rears are a lil too light for my liking.

Moulding tape. Not visable when they are off. Minimal when on.
