I'm working on a set of headlights for a friend. I took a few pictures since supermade lenses are rarely seen anymore.

Supermade used t make clear lenses for our car for... I think it was like $600 for a pair, but they went out of business... 6 or 7 years ago? Maybe longer. They're pretty rare now and hard to find.

I paid $320 for mine. They were imported directly from Japan from a supplier I found long time ago.

That isn't a bad option at all considering it includes labor.

They were around $300-350 while still in production. They might have hit $600 years later due to rarity and demand.

You're right about them being hard to find now. I almost bought the set that are on your car, but you beat me to buying them.

Oh, I guess I didn't realize what the original sales price was, and lol, I got beat out the first time I tried to buy a set of Supermades, so when the ones I have now came up for sale I didn't wait at all. Of course it all doesn't really matter for the time being now that OGStatus is here making us clear lenses.

Interesting you still remember that I was the one to beat you to the sale though, I hope I didn't gloat too much in the FS thread.

You're lucky if that was only your second attempt. It took me 6 years to locate the lenses. I think there was a few other parts you beat me to buying, so that is why I remembered.

Are those OEM control arms? I'm wanting to change mine down the road since the ball bearings on mine are really starting to take a beating, but I'm not sure if I'm ready to shell out as much cash as Lexus wants for the control arms..
