Those look great rob., I had considered darking my front turn signal lenses. All i was going to do was "tint" them though like you would any auto window. Would you mind sharing the info on how you darkend those ones? At least in PM if you didn't want to share that info forum wide..?

Damn those look insane! Can't wait to get those on my cars. I will definately have to send you all my side markers and 3rd brake lights. I knew they would be worth the wait... I'm just gonna have to pray they come in one piece. Man those are hot.

What you cant really see is the fact that the S4 housings and lenses
are better then new, the S5 tails are better then new as well
and wont get hazy.
I was considering offering lenses on exchange
the only problem is getting good cores
Revvins S4 lens had a crack and his S5 had a crack as well
as a deep scratch in the black part of the S5 lens, when you sand
the black part of a S5 lens it turns red, so it needed to be masked
off and the black touched up
Trust me im not getting rich on doing these, they are a losing
thing for me, I only do "projects" like this when I have
nothing else to do, turnaround can sometimes be slow
so thats why I would like to offer them on exchange so there is
no downtime
