Question can the black chrome on the cover be eaten away with a chemical without hurting the plastic ! I plan if this is possible to blot out 3 inch circles so the projectors have a clear sight ! It’s enough to stay legal and just enough to keep it rad at the same time totally clear lens I just can’t bring my self to do it I would end up doing a reverse process and smoking them and masked off the circles and called it done !


I got some led angel eye shrouds switchbacks the go over the 2.5 inch projector and some ultra thin stripping for a spline look around the cannon ! These are gonna be tight lol infusing turn signals into the cut outer left and right side ! Yup again by your truly !

Looks great! IIRC When I took mine off, the actual weight difference was only like 6lbs total. I think people really overestimated the difference
