Glad you like them born2drv, I thought they were quite impressive myself, but never get to appreciate them fully until I see them on the metal. Glad they found a home on such a sharp looking car :naughty: ......looks like it came from the factory like that.

Great photos as well to add to the ones on silver and white U.K cars. Next week I should be doing a pair of rears and fronts for another Brit with a red car - will post pics as soon as done. Can't remember if I posted a pic of the fronts, so here they are........

I have one remaining pair of rears which will convert and refurbish as good as these, so if you're interested, you'll have to be quick.

hey wolfie, how much are those? to be honest I kind of want to get the JDM style ones (1/2 amber, 1/2 clear), but those look nice too.

ooops - pressed the wrong button....Doh!

Was going to add, this was one of the pair I used as masters, I'd let you have them but I'll need those for future moulds. How odd - these are standard U.K fitment and loads of people want all clears here :icon_conf

I think there's someone on the U.K site who might be able to supply them, I'll P.M you the details if you want to follow it up.

On a black car with clear rears, I would have thought the best overall finish would be with all clear fronts and side repeaters (when I get them done), totally banishing all the amber....IMHO.

My clear front lenses alone are £75 + shipping and do require some 'minor surgery' and heating of the units in the oven. Not cheap, but again exclusive :naughty:

Still a bit confused....what's standard fitment for the fronts on U.S cars - are they all amber with no sidelight?

See what you guys think when I can post the first pic of them on a car.

When I bought mine a bunch of people told me that the Jap ones are like the US ones only a little darker amber, and the Euro ones are actually the half-and-half. I bought the Euro half-and-halfs, they look AWESOME.
Talk to martyn&tara, I got them from Tara super cheap and really fast from England. Highly recommended.
