"We have started taking requests for new projects once again. Please be aware that I have to make at least 20 sets of lenses for new projects to being to make a project profitable. If you have an idea in mind and want to make it a reality, please try to arrange a group buy ahead of time with other car owners, forum members, etc"

There's 6 interested - I've dropped a mail to Clearz.com to see about unit costs and we'll take it from there, need another 14 people and a price!

Clearz update and price...
"Hi Sean,
Thanks for the email. It can be hard to give en estimate without having and actual lens in hand, but from looking at a couple pictures of the turns signals on ebay, I would put the cost at around $160 per set. Customers would be able to choose from clear, light smoke, dark smoke, silver pearl, diamond pearl, black pearl, etc lenses, and white, silver and black housings. I would actually need TWO sets of lenses to make the molds from. I usually end up having to chop the housings up to get good lenses from one set, and then chopping up the lenses to get good housings from the other set. They very rarely seperate cleanly enough to make molds from the lenses and housings from the same set.
Just let me know if you have any other questions, and we can go from there.
Thanks,
Jason

So, we need 2 sets of signals to ship to him. $160 seems a tad high? Thoughts please...

I'd be very interested depending on price. I've been thinking about this since day one, and can't find a way to conviniently do it myself and get proper light diffusion through the lens. So if they could get the turn signals and corner marker lights out the door for no more than $150, I'd probably be down for a set.

@ Steve, we're talking about just the fronts, the side markers aren't being discussed, but I can send him a couple along with the indicators, to get a cost.
$80 a lens is a bit expensive for a stone to hit it....
He's only guessing at the price, cost should come down as they're all flat lenses once away from the back part. The other thing I can do is split them myself so no need for x2 sets, the key is heat
I know it would transform my car...I also like the smoked lens idea, it would blend the front bumper on black cars....

Nearly halfway there (price dependant of course)
1. He doesn't need 2 sets, I'll split & send one pair.
2. Side marker lenses are all the same, the backs are handed Lf Rf Lr Rr He only needs 1. (we use original backs?)
3. Costs should come down as they're flat, no odd curves. Markers to add to order.
