Lots of sanding and still not as perfect as I want but close. Here is what I am working with so far. Sorry the photo quality is not the best. Only pics for now. I'll take more soon.

Left the reverse lens untouched. Yes, the third brake light and reflectors are done as well.

Most places do not carry it. I was lucky enough to find that an Advance Auto by me started keeping it in stock. You could also find a custom car shop that might use it or can order it, or you could buy it on Ebay.

I assume it looks alot shinier and smoother than what that POS grainy excuse for a camera can pick up.

Looks good... I picked up a can at the Advance near me & did the turn signals on my bike just to test it out... After the wetsanding, i'll see if i'm brave enough to do the TB...
