Here are a couple of pics of prototypes that I have developed and am currently using on my car until my molds are machined and I can start casting the final parts in aluminum and anodizing them. These parts are made of thermal plastic and are not the final part. I am posting these just to give you guys a look at the rough part the final parts will look much better and be aluminum not plastic.

I'd probably prefer the plastic version as well
these look very good! I'm wondering why you don't offer the plastic version? For those, like me, with a car that lives in the cold and heat, I'm afraid the high coefficient of expansion on the aluminum metal will expand contract too much against the remaining plastic lens and cause other stress cracking problems. As you know, there is already a pair of internal stress cracks in every lens out there. I'd be happy to beta test a set of the plastic parts!

Obviously, owners can treat their cars any way they want. What I stated above is how I treat mine.

My taillights are new as dealer damaged my perfect old set and replaced. I personally believe when you start making patch type repairs with a car/house what ever integrity is lost. Looks like a well thought out product and can see why some find it appealing much like leds= just not for me.
