          I agree, which is why my rings are clearly bright metallic silver.

          None at the time of the shattering. It has clear packing tape on it now to keep it from falling in on itself until the weekend when I have the time to fix it.

            Clearly, no.

            Ugly, yes.

              They are finished with a paint identical to the factory original on the part.

                        That is because we all are unaware of the amazing Jordan and his magical paint. On OUR cars he would be saying it looks like shi* and needs to be made to his standards, on his car it is

                            That is why I sold my Smileys and am sticking with cheap ass sealed beams for now.

                              40.00 delivered for Lamin-X vs possibly ruining 250.00-500.00 lenses hmmmmm lemee see......

                              I broke the passenger side, both lenses, of course the smily was the worst then bought Lamin-X no trouble since.
