Glue the lens on with some urethane adhesive, and get rid of those screws or rivets or whatever, and it would look better. Overall...they are really cool! It looks mean as **** from the front! Good job on doing your own customizing that isn't like everything else!!

Urethane adhesive? Your talking about panel bonding? Is that correct? Ill do some looking but I have material in mind. Just want something less permanent more easily removable but still strong.

No not panel bond! You will NEVER get that stuff off. Urethane adhesive is the stuff they glue windshields in with. If you want something you can easily remove though, I would just go with black rtv silicone. That's what most "whistler modders" use to put their lights back together with.
