Smoked front signal lens

I smoked my lens using the same material I used to red out my taillight lens. It turned out good. It can be left permanently there but it is also can be easily removed.

how did you get it to conform to the lens so well and do you have any interest in selling the material or a set of pre smoked lenses?

The material I use is very easy to work with. Just heat it up with a hair dryer while working on the edges and it stretches. I can supply the material.

That red is a different shade from the one I got. It looks faded. How much did you pay for the repair tape?
