So no, there is no way to clear the cover.

What I will do is paint the edges black because there is a lot of red reflection on edges of that cover. Painting them black, will lessen "the pinK effect"



As for an update... no new pix..
I just finished putting new coat of resin over the CF. It should be dry by tomorrow so I can have the most of it put together.

Here's an idea... why don't u just get a can of spray tint, and just throw a really thin coat on the lens, and that should clear up the pink dilemma..... huh huh? :P

HAHA Beetle,

I think the tale-tell sign was all the ripped up Glamour and Women's magazine pages she was using as surface paper for her work area...

A guy would have used newspapers or paper bags...

I see those mags laying around all over my house from the wifey..

I think it would have been better if you had started this project using the ralliart tails instead of the stock pink ones.
