Ja, echt heavy...
...zur Trennung: aber bei den 91/92er funzt es nicht...wie gesagt, warscheinlich andere Verarbeitung oder "bessere" Aufschmelzung", ...auch ist der schwarze Bereich ohne Gitter wesentlich größer als bei den 85-90er Heckleuchten...wer weiss...
...insbesondere in den großflächigen schwarzen Bereichen ist die Verbindung ultrafest...
...denn wenn das dort auch funktionieren würde, hätte ich damals nicht für sehr teures Geld eine nagelneue Aussenschale gekauft und bezahlt...
...ist ja nicht so, das ich es nicht probiert hätte....
Mir scheint, der Typ bei Thirdgen.org hat "nur" das Gitter" rausgetennt (und nicht die anderen schwarzen Bereiche)....quasi rausgesägt, vom Rest des schwarzen Bereiches "abgetrennt"...vieleicht ist die Verbindung dort unter dem Teilbereich des Gitters selbst nicht so Endfest....da bin ich überfragt.....
...aber selbst wenn sowas gut gelingen würde, ist die Frage, ob sich der Aufwand rechnet (insbesondere die Gefahr, den klaren Kunststoff zu beschädigen...oder das filigrane Gitter beim Demontageversuch zu zerbrechen...)...
...und dann muss man ja auch Ersatz für das Teil-Gitter bekommen....usw.usw.
Edit:
...so hat er es wohl gemacht:

Zitat:
The lenses were delaminated really bad, sorry I don't have any pics before I took the grid out or how to take the grid out. The black behind the clear was really bad on the ends towards the center of the car. There was no way to get the black plastic out so I had to paint the outside which is covered later.
All pics are attached below.
Removing the plastic grid:
The first one I just broke out the grid piece by piece by pulling it away from the clear part with needle nose pliers. It took about an hour to do it that way. The second one I basically did the same thing, but used a heat gun to loosen it up and weaken the grid. The second one took maybe 5 minutes. I broke it out as close to the outer edges of the lens as I could.
Sanding:
When the grid is removed, there will be indentions in the clear plastic that need to be removed if you plan on going with a pattern different than stock. If you plan on going back with the stock look you can leave them there and use them as a masking guide. I used 100 grit dry paper to get the marks out, then followed up with 220 wet, 320 wet, 600 wet, 1000 wet. Then I used Turtle wax rubbing compound followed by Mother's wheel polish.
Masking the outside:
As stated before the outside of the lenses that I had needed to be painted or you would be able to see all the delamination/discoloration of the black behind the clear that wasn't removable. I used masking tape to cover the area that I wanted to remain clear.
Masking and cutting the pattern inside:
I masked the entire inside of the lens. I used a quarter to get my pattern. All I did was trace the quarter with a pencil in the pattern that I wanted. When I was finished tracing and laying out the pattern I cut around each circle with a razor blade (it would have been much easier with an exacto knife). Once the circles were cut I removed the excess masking around each circle. Starting at one end the surrounding tape pulled off fairly easy.
Painting:
With everything masked off I painted the lenses inside and out with gloss black spray paint. I used Rust-O-Leum since that was what I had at the time. I applied 4 coats inside and out. When everything was dry I removed the masking tape. The outside is quick, the inside takes a little more time to get every circle out. The pics of it on the cooler show the outside tape removed and the tape circles on the inside still in place. Once all the masking is removed you can put the light assemblies back together and install.
All in all it's not that hard to do, I have about 8 hours +/- in the whole process. I also masked off the bird in the center section and gave it a few coats to match .
Zitat Ende...
Bilder sind in dem oben von mir gezeigten Link...
...wie ich vermutete...er hat nur das REINE Gitter rausgebrochen/gesägt/entfernt, da die Struktur dort eh schon geschwächt war...er hat also nicht das komplette schwarze vom klaren lösen können...!
...und er hat außen teillackiert...wie man an den Detailpics im Thread schön erkennen kann....
...das 4th-Gen-Style Honeycombdesign hat er dann nachträglich innen "einlackiert"...also KEIN extra Gitter in den schwarzen, lasierten "Hauptrahmen" wieder eingesetzt...
