Wow, so you didn't have to make a little black border on the underside to hid the adhesive?  Wish i would've known that too. But i'm still happy with mine b/c i was able to keep my black border slimmer than some of the others i've seen. Would love to see some pics as i will def go the clear route next time. Thanks.

thanks for the input guys!  what did you use to hold down the lense covers while the silicone was drying?

also, can someone tell me the proper door weatherstripping for the Murcielago? i had to take off the weatherstriping that the previous owner put on the car. the doors didn't align properly when closed. too thick on top side of door.

ps. here are some photos of the Murci... i also have a 25th annniversary that i build last year. it really turned out great!

Lookin good! Just my .2 cents but while you're in there,plastidip black the buckets and behind the grills front and rear. I think it would give a more authentic look and if you don't like it, its removable.
