I've been toying around with the moldings alot lately and come up with a (I think anyways) idea that I have not seen anywhere else before.

Essentially I cut and shape acrylic clear pieces to the eact same shape as the originals and then paint the backside of the molding to the original car color, red in my case.

In the sun they look really slick because the paint is on the backside and the thickness of the plastic makes a sorta "prism" like focus of light onto itself.

The other cool thing is they clean up the look of the moldings because they are just flat without the little sub molding that is usually on top of the regular molding. I am also tinkering with not putting the side markers in and rather just illuminating the molding itself during signalling.

I'll post a few pics if anyone is interested.

I'd like to see it.
