i would love to loose my amber corners, but i think that circle looks wierd.
 
Great work! I have wanted to do this from day one but have always been so afraid of melting a perfectly good functioning lamp enclosure. Looks great:cool:

I don't think it was anywhere near close to melting... The plastic wasn't even that hot... I'm sure the plastic can withstand way more than 275 degrees

Don't give me any ideas. I just know I'll melt them and then be kicking myself for weeks;)
 
I wanna get 18" black with a polished lip.. but I wanna get a spool exhaust & fmic first.

I kinda like how the circle looks... it's not really that bad in person, pics make it looks kinda wierd.
 
looks familiar, im gonna get some better pics today but someone decided to put a knife through 2 of my tires
 
Looks good. I've been thinking about doing this for a while now, only in laser blue mica.

But the hole does look wierd.

Way better looking than the amber reflector though.
 
Yes.. after you paint the inside.. wait for it to dry, then place the lense right back in... then push the headlight assembly back together.. put it back in the oven for 10-15 more mins.. take it out.. press it together even harder to seal it.. and screw it together. (but why not just pop the lenses out? (unless u have a yellow protege, then i can understand)
