Shaved off the warts. Also, I know it's up to me, but I'd still like your opinions. I added knock off centers to the Empi wheels instead of plain center caps. You like em, or no?

Can't one of you super creative or resourceful folks find or come up with a low profile lens with an LED that fits the OEM housing ?
I am going to try to find something / make something. If successful would it turn a Wart into a Mole or "Beauty Spot" ? |

I was thinking this as well. - low profile maybe flush or slight bubble, however we always talk about visibility , problem about being seen, its ok but I don't think its an "upgrade" in any way - besides that , any car show formal or informal you are no longer in "stock"class, but "Custom" - with that said do what you want, I think it looks fine, just saying - BTW love that color of yellow! - ( ironically I have just taken my BUB's off my 75 and they are getting the chrome treatment) - Phil |

QUOTE(Philip W. @ Mar 28 2018, 08:41 AM) - besides that , any car show formal or informal you are no longer in "stock"class, but "Custom" - I get that, but always thought it a little odd that restoring a car to the original design and how it was sold in much of the world becomes "custom." I've always thought converting to euro lenses wasn't complete without shaving the warts. Before my car is done, I'm going to get a pair of these or something similar to play with the idea of hiding a stealth marker in that crevice behind the front bumper, or perhaps the door jamb. Success or failure might determine whether the warts get shaved.
