I did it on my '83, but the car isn't on the road yet. They came out very nice, but I have decided if I am going to run them or not yet.

I think they look excellent,yet do not look ricey at all. On my FC,I made clear front turn signals using the same stuff as V8Kilr,but used blue bulbs. The signals looked pretty sweet because they were on a gold car and had a nice contrast.

Anyways guys,your clear tails definetly look sweet! And that SE with the plate RXTASY is my fav. colour.

I need the money because I am moving and need to get rid of some cars and start from scratch.
My next project I am going to try to squeeze 2 rotaries in 1 car.

hey seanrot, on those clear side marker lenses, did you just use the same material from the taillights? Becuase, im thinking about doing the same thing, except i think im gonna use a couple of layer, so it will match the old thickness better. What do you guys think?
