Well, I thought about posting this in gen chat, but I'm going to do this mod on my car, so I guess 240 gen chat should be okay.

Where can I buy this clear lens cover? Is it called Lexan sheet or something? I googled a little, but got no luck. I'm trying to make my third brake light clear, so I just need a little piece.

I saw this car for the first time in my life. I didn't even know this car existed. Callaway Corvette....

I've never seen that little cover before.

But I don't care if that car was built by God himself with a million horsepower and can go 400mph. It looks terrible.

^ seconded. I actually hope you find this out. I wanna make my third brake light clear as well. Of course I need a new third brake light because the bulbs in mine came loose and burnt their housing.

Looks like the diffuser lens from a fluorescent light fixture. You would probably need to put lexan in front, diffuser behind that, then your brake lights, preferable red LEDs. You should be able to get a sheet at your local Home Depot / Lowe's.

I want something that has this texture. It's Super Made tail light covers. I think this might be same as the one on Callaway. Anyway, I'll go to Home Depot and try to find it. Inside:

I went to Home Depot and looked around at lunch time, but couldn't find good one. They have some covers, but patterns are too big. I want more fine patterns. I'll try different hardware store. My office has a bunch. Should I sell them on NICO?

I dont know about where you live, but in CA we have these places called TAP Plastics. They have all kinds of different materials, and they also make custom stuff if you bring them a pattern or something. It's a pretty cool place.

I guess regular red bulb will work too, but only problem is red color will still show when it's not on.

Hey man,

I finaly found you. You're the one selling all those rare jdm items on findjdm.com. I emailed you about the white bumper before. I was afraid that the website wasn't legit 'cause I could not connect it to anything. Now that I know that you're on Nico, I will buy from you. How much do you want for the fog light switch shipped to IL 60504?

I'm sure I don't have to remind you that's illegal, being the color of a reverse light.
