13Betc FTP picture request

Looking at buying a set of Amber FTP replacements from 13Betc and was wondering what they look like. Any color it doesn't matter to me it's just hard to see the image they have posted for comparison on an actual car.

Thanks.

Thank you, I was not sure how it was going to turn out,, the trim was faded and I tried to paint it black but I could not get the paint to stick right so I decided to wrap it. When I went to the Pep Boys tune my ricer shop the only thing they had enough material of to do the entire job was the carbon fiber wrap so I went with it. The car is a 20 footer any way, but for a 30 year old car it looks good.

They would have to be cut bigger to make them sit flush, of you want to have them sit flush you may want to save up and buy the factory ftp lenses and tint them the color you want.

Yeah i was thinking that.... mine are not yet broken but the tint shop says they can possibly do them on the car .... im just afraid to remove them just in case they break

I wonder how much a plastic window place would charge to cut some out, im only saying this because i pass by a place every day to work lol

I actually use to work at lumber company that did glass as well, I had a 1990 vert that I made a template for and had actual glass gut and shaped to fit and silicone it in, actually looked decent. As far as cost, I would cut a template and stop and ask them. They would probably have some scrap they could make them out of.
