Don't think I'll bother doing it on mine tho.

i dont care who its copying...I'd like to do it to mine, to fit the all-black stealth look. they look good mate.good work!

That looks really cool!!

I've considered doing this. I might have a go with some lights from the scrappy. Nice one!

Also worth cleaning the inside and outside of glass thouroughly when it's off!
