true, the guy who bough my car wanted the 99 spec look so instead of painting them I though this would be different. The car has alot of carbon fiber in other places so it fit's the car.


are they for sale?
No these are going on the car. I have the molds I used so if you wanted a set I could make more.

If you want you lights done you have 2 options

1)I can sell you the covers. 30 dollars + shipping. They will come in the general shape of the lights but you will have to trim them up to make them fit perfectly. This will require you taking apart the light assembly, triming the carbon, painting the side of the lens black and gluing the cabon to the lens. (20 extra if you want them clear coated, see below)

2)If you send me your lights I can fit the covers on in 2 days and ship them back to you. Cost is 80 dollars + return shipping. (20 extra if you want them clear coated, see below)



The covers in the pictures are unclear coated. You can go to my web site www.carbonfiberparts.net and see the difference between unclear coated (stuff in the tail lights) and the other parts I have done. Basically the clear coated ones are more smooth and look more 3D


Drop me a line if you are interested

Wow, they look great.

My friend Kevin said he would do mine for $50 but I couldn't wait and used spraypaint.
