I was actually thinking about it, but I wanted some sort of contrast aside from the red.

Looks great. Any rear shots?

I would clear the orange of the headlight and turn signal burger or at least tint them so it doesn't stand out so much.

Here's the rear.



Any DIY guides? I'm thinking about the Spyder headlights...

Hockey Pucks - DIY ...
1. Just remove the lens from the car.
(Don't drop the bulb / wire into the hole)

2. Mark the lens & base with a sharpie so when you re-glue it you orientate the rondel to the base properly.

3. Use some masking tape to provide a cut line and protect the good side of the lens.

4. I used a hack saw to carefully score the cut and then work it through the lens plastic. Some use a dremel tool.
The waste plastic lens is left on the plastic base. It snaps off with pliers. You can cut some relief cuts to control the break to smaller sections.

5. True up the joined surfaces with a sheet of sand paper taped down to a flat surface.
Glue everything back together with epoxy or JB Weld.

I trimmed my lens' to half thickness and the stock bulbs fit no problem.

A very easy mod that looks great.
Good luck

for clear you would have to buy new clear ones then cut... or you can tint them with spray tint.
