Yeah if I can just duplicate the stock lens I could paint the black mask on the backside (or get creative with it) to look like the factory black plastic part which covers all the edges. Hobby store resin is what I'm thinking of at the moment (like something you might make a pond from for an electric train diorama) to make a lens. I could sand it all to look like I want, paint the mask, install new lens, and clearcoat lens, seam, and all with three coats of refinish clear. Then buff that and it should look like new and last a hell of a lot longer.
