Default Lexon Carbon Fog Lamp cover

Does anyone have these yet? How do you remove the covers?

Here is a pic of the Lexon Fog frames...

Well you really can't compare CF material to a completed CF molded piece..

That soft CF material is good for wrapping things.. There is no resin or clear on it to make it hard & shiny....

I have the Lexon CF Fogs on my F (Clark from VIP hooked me up). They look great and the CF weave was one of the best I've seen in a long time.

EDIT: You don't need to remove the covers, they stick on the stock ones with 3M double sided table. Just make sure you put enough tape on, clean off both surfaces really well and they won't go anywhere.

Jerry you can get the wrap and wrap it and just have someone finish it off with Resin to make it hard and clear would look bad ***!
