Default tail light lens question

First, I won't have access to any tools to find the answer to this question for a couple more days.

Second, The otside face of the lens is smooth. Is the inside of it smooth, too, or is it bumpy?

The reason I ask is a friend of mine has a laser engraver and has offered to etch a design into my covers free of charge (the Hash House Harriers On-On foot). I prefer to etch the inside for aesthetic reasons and think it will only turn out right if I have a smooth surface etched.

Thanks

Thanks for the compliments guy's. They are legal here in Florida. They are not in production anymore as they are not legal in many states. I have a thread about the install here. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1390462
This is the final outcome as of today
