    So I finally got brave enough to do this mod. Involves cutting the clear lens from the housing and after using rubbing alcohol to rub the chrome from the red lens using JB Weld or black silicone adhesive to seal the lens back to the body.. enjoy..

    That's it? Just split them and rub the shiny bits off?
    Cmon.

    Yup and it rubs off with rubbing alcohol.. Like TheModFather said the hard part is splitting it apart.

    Nice job, well done. :Thumbsup:

    Yup I did this a few years ago.

    It's a great cheap shuttle mod that when people see it they are like "hey, where did you get those?" I made them.
