headlight covers

[aka1004]

i liked the way RT's headlight looks so i got some covers from F1 but did not like the outline of clear cover against the black tupperware so i painted them partially. i will most likely paint around the headlight lenses in silver to mimic RT. spyder looks like it's mad doesn't it?

Very nice. I used to hate cleaning the bugs out of the lights on my RS. Wish I would have had something like that back then

That looks very nice. Couple of questions:

Did they just stick on?
Did you notice any reduction in visability at night?

Might have to pick me up a set of these.

Did you get the windscreens with the kit?? If so why didn't you install those as well?
I like the look of the covers...

double sided tape and it was painted on outer edges only so it does not interfere with headlight. once i decide whether to paint inside or not i will crazy glue them or something. i will have no need to take them off.

just marcel but you know, now i look at them, i think 1/8" plexiglass from homedepot cut to size will work fine. that was my original plan but when i ordered the slider windshield, i just said "at least i will saving on shipping"
of course these are like 1/4" thick and much stronger but it's so small that 1/8" plexiglass may hold up.

by the way, you will need a heatgun as these do not fit the curvature of tupperware flush.

and that spyder is marcel's exhibition spyder i think.

My bad----
I think you're right.

So you got the clear instead of the smoke and then painted them?

I wonder how much of a problem they cause at night?

The smoked ones do look pretty sharp.:thumbup:

marcel said smoked ones are just for show and they WILL be illegal in most states. i think he said 70% loss of light.
i did not like the clear lenses sitting on black tupperware so i just painted edges. it also hides the double sided tape/glue.

Those are really cool. Hopefully a more reputable dealer will start marketing a similar product.

[Some Guy]

Excellent. I didn't see where they offer clear covers instead of the tinted ones...or did I just miss something? (it happens!)

 

[Firefly]

The lower ones are what I'm really interested in......
