in need of clear lenses for my taillight

ok....i was clearing out my tail lights today and it went pretty ok til i had to cut out styrene lighting panel....it was pain in the *** to cut them out with acrylic cutter....took me a freakin' while and decided to quit but realized that i was almost done...after cutting one piece out and tested to see if it fits or not....nope....didn't fit....so i cut some part out and it fits but it's not really straight and kinda crooked...and looks kinda bad at the end of where the red lense is suppose to be. kinda frustrating and i'm not even done with the right one yet and i have to go to school tomo with only one cleared out anyways..i heard some org. members sell clear lenses or something for 15 bucks..who are they? maybe i should've just left tail lights alone

I would like to the same as you. I had no prob getting the lights opened, or making the tin foil model, but I could not cut the plastic, I was using a dremel tool kinda thing with a saw blade. After 3 hours and many many broken attempts, I quit.

I'd gladly pay $15 for these.

I make them check my homepage, but its still kinda cold in colorado right now for me to make the cuts (no place indoors to work), but let me know if you are interested, as long as its above 55 its cool to get a good cut. anything belowe that temp the panels get to brittle, and it is very difficult to make a straight clean cut.
