Still crusin'

Been busy I guess. Data says last visit was July 29, 2014! Well, I'm still crusin' in my 2003 SSEi dream car that I bought online sight unseen from Scotsdale and had shipped to FL. It was a cherry. Has a few minor body dings now but still a looker in the bronze metallic mist. Thought I'd say hello and was looking for a unicorn replacement rear trunk reflector (ha,ha,ha). Sent a message to Andrew and waiting a reply.

Research says "impossible to repair", so still looking for a solution. It has mostly delaminated and I can reglue but it has the expected filmy look in sections. I found a tint kit ($59) on ebay but not clear if it is only for tail lights or reflector also. Photo looks like reflector is tinted and actually looks cool. Thought that would look better than the faded, filmy look. Has anyone used this tint?

Happy for any ideas. If someone could 3D print one at a reasonable cost, you could bank some serious dinero. swampy

Hey, welcome back!

Sounds like your car is at least rust free. Maybe it's time to upgrade to some GXP lamps if you're keeping her for the long run? Sadly, those will also delaminate but they don't look so obvious and would be easier to fix with tint.

I'm curious if anyone has painted to body color. Would be curious to see
