Is There A Market For "euro" Clear Lenses On The 1st Gen 7?
I HAVE A BUDDY THAT WOKS IN PLASTIC MOLDING AND HE MADE ME A SET OF CLEAR LENSES FOR THE FRONT AND THE SIDES OF MY 85 RX-7. I THINK THEY LOOK GOOD AND SO DOES EVERYONE THAT NOTICES THEM. DO YOU THINK THERE IS A LARGE ENOUGH MARKET FOR ITEMS LIKE THIS FOR THE EARLY 7'S? LET ME KNOW .... I'LL SEND PICS OF THE WAY THEY LOOK IF YOU NEED VISUAL..
THANKS

the thing is, Jose (at www.rotaryrx7.com) sells his lenses for like a dollar more than he buys them for, from australia. he is giving us as good a deal as possible.
plus, i'd buy from him cause he NEEDS to get his *** some white 16" or 17" rims for his car. no more 14" goldies....

Untill yesterday i thought i was the only person in the world with clear lenses on a first gen rx....oh well. i cleared out my taillights too. i think $33 per set of front and back sides plus $55 for the front bumper is pretty expensive. But i feel it's probably worth it. there aren't tons of styling parts for these cars so we pay whatever they want to add style to our cars. thanks for the input. my buddy made them in a temporary mold and ran 8 sets. they cost a little over $2.00 a set to make including the cost of the mold. (the mold was made out of aluminum) so it's cool that someone is making them for our cars but $33 per set is a bit high......

that price you mentioned is high I remembered the lens being more like 20 a pair and I still think 10 a pair is high. 2 bucks to make including mold proves this. as for the rear would it just be the lens or would it be an assy.? and what would the price be?

sorry about the darkness of the pictures. was a cloudy day. on a bright day you see that they are BRIGHT white under the sun. they look great. slightly smoked look of the stock outer lense.
i make these custom tail lights. if i find sufficient supplies i will start making them for about $150 shipped for a set, or $125 with core return.

those taillights look good with ur kinda paint iotus but with darker paint jobs i like the idea of doing that tansparent paint on top of the tailight thing....most do it in black....looks good
