Clear side indicator units......1st prototype
- Thread starter wolfie308
- Start date
I asked before but got no responce...is there a way to do those lenses in a clear "smoke" color? Just a slight gray would really blend in nicely on factory moldings.

yeah I suppose, but having the lenses done that way from the start would save me trouble. Im just not a big fan of clear lenses.
i would definitly take a pair...they look real good.. i like the bubble style, it defeats the ordinary, puts a whole new look on the car..
how much? let me know when you're ready to sell

the only bubble types i ever see are on VW's. it is a nice touch.
i used a photo program to hit my cars pics with the "red eye" feature (removing all red-related colors) and it looks nice.

haha! nice.
but yeah it selects colors pretty well...the surrounding of the light and color change would clue it in. tried it on my rears and it worked ok....not great.
i suggest a color changer in a photoshop program...not redeye. i just discovered this. lol.

Evening/ Morning all,
Apologies for changing subject slightly, and as it's getting rather late, and to save typing it again, here's my earlier post on the U.K forum.....
"Well I have some good news and some bad news.............the good news is that I produced the first clear front yesterday on plan and it looked fantastic.
The bad news is that today I put it on my chair whilst going to make a cuppa, came back and sat on it and snapped it in half .:icon_cry:
For the purposes of a demo/1st production, I managed to mount the parts into the backing after painting the rear edge black(more on that later) and used 3mm black vynl tape to recreate the finished look on the edges.
With careful lighting, I managed to disguise the crack down the middle to give you all a sneak preview of what the finished articles will look like

Need to make some final adjustments to the mould, and hope to have another perfect one done 2moro.
Like I've said before, I ALWAYS deliver"
These are what I mean by OEM style clears.............no sign of Rice here :biglaugh:
Hope you like the first viewing, and I'll post pics with bulbs on shortly, but I'll have to cobble something up as I don't have the correct bulb holders
Be pleased to hear what you guys think of them :naughty:

If they are OEM style clears, we will be all over them. Please make the rears too! They are no longer available anywhere.
Let's try this...........

Don't know what happened there, but seems to be fine now :naughty:
So, this is my idea of what the OEM clear could/ should have looked like
Need to make the other side mould in the next few days. The first couple of pairs will be going to the U.k to folks who have helped me out so far. You will then have the chance to see them 'on the metal' and hear owner's feedback.
Re price, I'll be looking at around £70/pair for the lenses inc amber bulbs+ Paypal costs + post. Obviouusly not cheap, but if you realised what's involved to achieve this quality, you'd think they're a bargain.
I expect demand to out strip my production capacity for some time,, as there are so many items I can develop and make in a day/week. I'm well aware of the interest in the front sides, but again a couple of sets will be going to the U.K for appraisal in the next couple of weeks max.
Which rears do you mean?.........pic would help
In adddition, I'm just finishing 8 pairs of Celica fronts for Toyota Club Netherlands and I also have 2 Euro Mk3 rear conversions to try to get done by the weekend............so I'd better get off here and back to work :evil2:
