wanted rear clear light cluster

[psyfto]

Can anyone help me by telling me were can you buy clear rear clusters for my fto and whats the best rear spoiler that fits straight on to buy

They're not available.

Project F made a limited number of them, but they sell for huge money second hand.

Personally I think they ruin the look of the rear end, and would recommend you tint the indicator part of the lens red.
like so:

You've 3 options:

1. Raise the suspension
2. Remove the coilovers and put standard suspension back in
3. Remove the splitter

If I had the make the choice, I'd be going with number 3.

There is a specific spray you get for tinting lights, It's available from Vinny Byrne's on the Kylemore Road in Dublin for about €7 a tin.
You also need a special clear coat if you don't want it to wear off again.

I sanded my lights with wet and dry paper before spraying to prevent the paint just running off.

tinted lights are not road legal.

depends on how mental you go on the tint, yours were way redder than mine.

Got through my NCT with them tinted black!

Tinted lights aren't illegal, low luminosity as a result of the tints is however. Light levels would need to be measured using a meter of some sort.

I think its called a lux meter. Well thats what they use when measuring light levels in buildings to see if its bright enough, not sure if its called the same thing for cars though.
