btw Felix, what is up with the headlight in turnsignal bucket deal??


First batch of lenses will be arriving here about a month from now. As far as I know thats the 'critical part.'

Was there any more news on these clear lenses? That should be pretty cool.

Ahh yes, the saga of the lenses. The worst part of this is that I won't be able to get Felix the lenses in time for the show. The first batch of lenses were molded Monday of last week, but they didn't come out well. At this point the die is being polished. That is supposed to be done within the next week, but I don't know when the die will get back on to the injection molding machine. I'm hoping within 2-3 weeks but I don't know.

I'll try to find the pictures I have later.

I would have really liked the lenses on for the show and Tony did his best. I spent a little extra time finishing the bezel and they look "mean". I'll wait for the lenses before getting professional pictures...

Thanks all for the kind words!!! I'll have to update the contributors list soon...

Just a thought....You might want to talk to the guys as Prototypes Plus (Menlo Park) for a quicker way to make parts like these lenses. They should be able to whip out a couple of flame polished CNC machined parts in no time. Of course they'll be pricey, and you won't be able to sell them to all your friends, but it should be a lot quicker than the injection molded route...Or they may come up with some othe cool quick prototyping technique (like SLA to silicone molds)...

Parts with a constant material thickness like thoes lenses can be drape formed or vacuum formed very quickly and inexpensively.

Give it a try,

PS my SEMA car shipped yesterday! YAY!

There isn't a comparison with die molding. Flame polishing leaves imperfections And drape forming/ vacuum molding still needs a die.

Here's my idea. You need something quick, that will look good. Take the lense and bead blast the whole face of it, so that it will be a nice, even "snowy clear." It won't be quite as cool as the clear clear, but when the lights are on, the things will glow like the sun.
