I'll work on making a few more this weekend. For a price I'm thinking $45 a pair shipped with the modified mounting clips and screws and $40 a pair without the clips/screws. (Shipping to Canada would be higher). If you don't want to drill your bumper and can reach up from underneath, you can just go to the hardware store and get an extruded "U" nut and use it as an attachment clip. They can be had for around 50 cents each.

Just a bit of a small concern for making smoked ones for the rear bumper:

The front turn signal covers look amazing, and I would love to get a pair if I did not have a custom bumper

On the back of the car however, those are not lights, as we all know, but reflectors, basically a safety device. Covering the reflectors, would not let enough light in and back out I wouldn't think for them to work as intended. In a worse case scenario of being on the side of the road at night, it would make the car harder to see for oncoming traffic. NO, I am NOT pulling the DOT card here, as I could care less about that when I do tasteful upgrades to my car, and will take my chances. Although I am certain someone will come out of their cave to chime in here and start quoting state or federal DOT regulations on why people should not cover up their turn signals, and how you will spend 20 years in jail for doing it I was just bringing up a small safety concern is all, nothing more.

Thought I would see just how much the cover affects the light. Here are a couple of pics showing the rear reflector lit up with my camera flash to compare uncovered and covered. The smoked acrylic is listed as transparent and does let a lot of light through when backlit, but as you can see by the pics, it does block some reflected light. Looks like I need to make some rear ones too

No cover:

Hardpact makes/made them here.

Your mounting method may be better.

Put me down for a front GT clear set without hardware.

I was able to get my hands on a front and rear formula bumper today. I will work on getting some molds made and try and figure out how to attach them to the bumper without screws.

Also, I have run into a bit of an issue with my MDF molds that I can't seem to remedy so I am going to remake them in aluminum. If all goes according to plan I will have some ready to go in a few days.
