I just meant that the fronts have the diamond pattern on the backside and are flat on the front whereas my PCP rears have a flat lens on both sides. Still down nontheless.

Hi oneandgone,
I see, These will have the diamond patern on the inside and flat on the front. I went with this pattern as they look better and will reflect light better.
The flat clear is neat, but I think to have a dimond pattern very similar to the OEM would be ideal.
Hi MK3 TurboS,
Yes, as mentioned in my earlier posts they will be the same size and dimensions as the stock ones. These were just cheap prototypes to get the ball rolling. They will snap in place of the old OEM ones.

Any updates on this?? I'd really like to have a set on my car before July if that's at all possible.

Hi everyone,
Sorry for the delay in the posting. I have been submerged with all sorts of "Auto and make Mike busy projects" LOL
Here is the most recent scoop. With the numbers as they are for those that are "Confirmed purchasers". Ie) You said you would buy, but did not send in money. There is not money required to be put down inorder to be a confirmed purchaser. I need to revisit my numbers and plans for production.
I am going back to speak with my manufacturer on Monday to run some more numbers and try to make things work for this.
This is all I have. Once I meet with him on Monday I will have a better idea where I stand and where the whole project stands.
If you have any more questions please let me know and I will be happy to answer them for you. Also those following this, if you are interested but have not posted, let me know too.
I will inform everyone of the new updates.
Thank you for your patience and support.

Ok Everyone,
As promised here is an update. I am getting my manufacturer to re run my quote with only 100 pairs produced. I had spoken with them today and they were tied up for the most part. I will have an answer tomorrow or Wensday. I will keep you updated.

Hi $pecialk91Turbo,
Not too late. I am still running numbers to get a more accurate price. I plan to over produce by a few pairs that way if someone else decides they want them, then I can ship them right away. When I speak to my manufacturer tomorrow I will have a better idea as to the numbers of what everything will cost, and what the pairs will sell for.

Dude you need to read before you post. He has said many times that those pictures are of PROTOTYPES, and they are NOT smaller than stock lenses.
GOT BOOST, I just wanted to take the time and thank you for what you are doing. I have been looking for a pair of these lights ever since I got my supra. You're taking on a huge responsibility, just to make some other people happy, and that is awsome! I am glad that we have people like this in our little MKIII community.
I will most definatley take a set, most likely TWO sets, just in case something happens..
Thanks again, and good luck! I anxiously await the final product.

I'm was wandering if u can do this with the fronts, then could u do it for the rear tail lights. i think clear tails would like really nice on a black supra.
There actually are rear tail lights that are clear, well not clear. Most people didn't like it...

Hi fatboy,
Thankyou for the compliments! I appreciate that. As for the two sets, I hope you will not need them incase the first set breaks. I am making sure that these will not bust or shatter when hit with a little bit of wind! ha ha ha.
Hi D34DC311 As for the rears, they can be done in clear but it is just a cost issue. I could always design some at a later date and post what I have come up with later. I am not sure there would be a demand for these as there is the side markers, however I am willing to take a look and test the market.
Shougun and everyone else I missed. Thank you for your interest, I will keep you updated as to the progress.
As for today, I did not get a chance to call my manufacturer for a pricing update. Today was nuts and flew by before I knew it. I will make it a point tomorrow to give them a shout so I can run some new numbers and see if people would still be interested in them.

Same thing happened to my car. My mom was driving (I wasn't there), some old guy backed up into my car and just left. She was honking and yelling at him, but he didn't stop. We found him later and he paid up, but we thought it was a lost cause for a moment there.
we good thing u caught the guy, the asshole that hit me took the liberty (my car was unlocked) to place the broken reflector and blinker light in the front seat of my car. WTF
Hi Everyone,
It looks like I was almost hit with the parking lot hit curse too. Yesterday on my way to lunch with Tara and Laura I was at a complete stop in the parking lot for about 30 seconds, then this older lady in this beater car starts backing up slowly out of her stall but surely towards my drivers side door while we were still in the car. Stunned in amazement as to how she is not seeing me I neglect to honk the horn. At the last possible second I lay on the horn. She finally stops about 1/16 of an inch from my drivers side door. She was stunned to see that I was there. Yikes!!!!
Anywho, I made it a point to call my manufacturer today. I do not know what happened over the last few days as I was running in circles at 100 mph. I did not get a hold of him, but I left a message. I should hear something with in a few hours.
Thank you or your patience.
