    i had the red and clear ebay lenses a while back and they turned to a orangeish-pink and white color in less then a year in the CA desert sun.
    this is them after a few months.

    Did you just buy the lenses or the whole assembly? I've heard that you will always have leakage if your replace just the lenses.

    If you have your own checking account, you can also start your Paypal account with that, and just use the cards as the backup funding source. Or will it not allow you to do that either? Have you talked to your parents and just asked them to get the parts for you and you give them the money before or after the order?

    i bought Clear lenses for $20 free shipping. and it slightly turned "yellow". but barely noticeable.

    i decided to rock my factory lenses. I may just paint the bottom portion red.

    Just get a new gasket for the tails and new clips for the screws. They tend to wear out over time DUH.

    And "mprtftr" that was my plan but last time i tried to open a new paypal account with theyre cards it wouldnt let me cuz it was already in use. then again this was like 3+ years ago. idk if theyve changed things since
