How much would you pay for home-made red clear tails?

Less than $5.00 + 2 hours of work at the most if you do them yourself. (unless you don't have the actual tail lights to modify) It's really easy. I just need to finish the job and do the inner trunk tails to match the outers.

Save yourself some money and make them yourself. You'll be a lot more satisfied in the end too knowing that you made them yourself. Read the faq's to find how to do this mod.

who cares about satified that you made them. Buy them.....you do not have to worry about cracking the taillight. And unlike if you make them yourself the lenses match and it looks 10 times better.

I made my last set of red clears, and was not to happy with them...so i bought a set and the lenses look much better now that they are mathced.

i havent seen any on ebay,and i've been lookinig, but the only place i've seen to buy em is custommaxima.com and they're expensive as hell there, especially when you can go to home depot and make em for $5. i did it and toook out the little red reflector so it has a fade when the park light are on and it looks sick. yeah they don't match but no one really notices that. only max lovers and most of us understand

I did the mod myself only to have slightly deformed the lens. I wasn't happy with the finish after using a dremel to cut the fluorescent light cover. I got sick of knowing that I could see the hair-like strands of glue gun, the jagged lens and the deformed lens that I went and got the red clears from symmic on ebay for $44. I got it that low because hardly anyone bid on it.
