I was thinking you should scuff the whole light, everything, then mask them off. After that, spray color, pull the tape and clear the whole thing. I think that would help hide the hard tape lines and make them look better....that is what I would do.

I ebay'd 2 sets for a really good price, both in awesome shape just needing paint. MustangCorral (localized dealer for parts) wants $250 a set, used.


........No.

Ever thought of finding a set that match your color and throwing on a new clear coat to make it look better?
