yeah and then figure in exchange rate to buy them, may be more then 800, then shipping from japan, then the wait time.

I'd rather pay more for a local product i can get in a timely manner and help out a CL member.

what kind of white lens is that tanner? I tried it once a long time ago just to slice the outer layer of the orange lens and glue on a clear lens, but never found one that looks as nice as the one you're using...

I real quick look at it and I thought I saw Camaro tails.
It looks pretty nice, although because you don't have the outside cover the top portion looks small in comparison to the lower.

Excellent effort!

Hey Tony,
That's exactly what I'm doing...I'm using the stock inside as the white and I'm trying to mold a plexi for the clear outer lens.
I'm finishing the driver side as we speak, just have to sand and paint. I'm still trying to get the correct shape for the plexi. I'll keep you guys updated.

those look great, keep up the good work.

Isnt there any kind of clear material you could cut out, bend with heat and seal it up?

I agree with Koma. That first rear finished shot reminds me of the Camaro. I think the Camaro has that staggered tail light too. And then the glossy black with the lifted rear and the big chrome wheels...

Good idea for the lights though.

I just epoxied some Plexi I got yesterday (heated it with a heat gun) I'll post some pics later tonight.

I thought that it looked like a Camaro, when I first took the pic.
Lifted rear? come on, I got JIC coilovers maybe you meant that I don't have the rear kit on??
