So i had been toying with the idea of producing Sidemakers, front signals, and 3rd brakelights....:driving:

I thought that I would share with you guys... This is the first part I have made and i haven't "deflashed" it (cut off the excess) and I also need to heat up the mold prior to injecting the lense material..

Whatcha think?

Very interesting. Looks like a good piece. I may be interested in getting a set for a project I'm working on. What kind of price are we looking at?

RRTEC 03-31-2009 08:01 AM

Thanks! Between $35-$40 pair right now..

You should make ones for FDs.. I dont like the clear, clear ones on the ebay..

RRTEC 03-31-2009 09:25 AM

I think those are a 2 part lense (glued together to make 1) they are very expensive to make, probably a little out of my realm...

But I will look into it.

Look nice! Personally I dunno if I'd buy them (styling thing, not quality), but they look very well made - I'm sure there's a bit of a market for them.....as much as there is for any FC part anyways :lol:

My5ABaby 03-31-2009 02:54 PM

Are you able to make them non-diffused?

djmtsu 03-31-2009 03:43 PM

Trevor, make some as a Smoked Lense!

That way I don't have to tint these like the stockers:

Hmm, this is sweet. I wish you could make FTP's through, there would be a HUGE market for those if you could offer a cheaper replica of them, even a single piece replica that just covers up the holes withought the complicated back part.

RRTEC 03-31-2009 06:56 PM

FTP's are on the list... DJ- I can make tinted ones, I have all the materials. How tinted do you want them. I can make as light or dark as you want.

Yes I can make them crystal clear, But they would not be reflective..

djmtsu 03-31-2009 07:17 PM

Crystal clear are kinda........Honda-ish.

I am for some sort of FTP solution. Mine are getting water in them, so they are turning crusty.

Guys, these look better in person. As soon as the sun comes back out I will get high res pictures of them on my White FC and my Red FC.

Very nice, I'd be interested in some smoked ones here in the future.
