When we put up one of my old ones over my friend's series IV lens the S4 looks shorter and taller. Also, the S5 lenses have a curve on one corner.
Good post, I never would have known these were available - now it ties in nicely with my D-Speed clear side lenses.

Hmmmm... something that one of you might try... I haven't done this on LENSES, but I have done it on other clear plastic items... worked great on them. Note: the substance I did this to was LEXAN, dunno what the lenses are made from.
I have used a propane torch to "flow out" scratches and return clear lexan to new appearance. You have to be very careful to not overdo it though. So, if you were to sand the yellowing/deep scratches with a medium sandpaper, you could then use a torch to complete it.
I'm doing all of my lenses in black, so that will be different.

They are assembled with hot-melt glue.

I just got lazy and bought new FTPs and lenses.. faster than sitting around wondering how to restore them and actually do the work.. time is money too.

if you guys are really bored like i was about a year ago. i had a spare set of Ftp Lenses sitting around. SO i took off my orange front blinker lense, traced it onto the Ftp, and than did a little cutting/fitting. Turned out great. installed some Nice 'blue/ultra white bulbs and i think it looks great, i will post a pic when i get home from work. around 2:30 or so.
