it's 1.5 inch polycarbonate though, would have to take some patience sitting there for ages with a lighter.
dont know if it would burn the surface though if you held a lighter up to it? wonder if they tested that

they'd look cool as hell on a showcar etc, dont think they would be much use for a daily driver though.

Yeah I remember them on a 350z.
First pic in mark_gsi's post does look like they've been stolen though.
