I had the tape on/velcro black-out lens and after making my own spacers to move the lights out flush, I thought the black-outs looked cheap so I sanded and painted my lens with clear paint that I tinted with some black paint and then cleared them after I had just enough coverage. Check the archives, I posted a thread on how I did the painting and pics of my results.
The pics above look much better than the black-out lens I had, if you go that route, find out where he got his covers.

lvvette777,
No, it's "POS VETT". OH doesn't allow 8 characters, 7 characters with two 1/4 spaces are maximum. I take it you are from Las Vegas, NV ? They don't allow that many characters in your state ?

Vette's are many things but mine is definitely not a POS
FYI - POS often means Piece Of Sh*t
I am sure in your case it means POSitive or Prize Of the Show
Ok, I give up! What does it mean??

Ok, forget the "Vette" part, I messed up, I was referring to the "POS" part.
It reads, "POS VETT", that is what I was wondering about.
