Pretty sure I know the answer and I'm pretty sure it's not the one I want, but....

I'm wondering is there ANY chance that if I were to carefully scrape the chrome coloring off of it, would it be a CLEAR piece of plastic? Or is it just a chrome colored or dark piece of plastic through and through.....

Odds are it's probably just an opaque grayish plastic.

That's what I thought....I'm thinking about how I can make some flush-mount LED strips as turn signals or running lights in there.

Yeah. It's opaque gray. Sanded a bit off the inside portion (won't be seen). Bummer.

I painted mine black. It looks really nice and contrasts with the chrome.

I ended up drilling holes and matching them up to LED strips that I glued behind it for running lights and brake lights. I'm gonna put a picture up on another thread. Not looking TOO bad, but I wish I had a better eye and could measure better. Some of the holes are probably a millimeter or two off from the rest and up close you can really tell. I don't know about far away, but I'm afraid to look.....
