so, i got my set of tail lights today, and started working on customising them, started today by taking off the lense,

had a small crack, but nothing some superglue wont fix while making clear moulds (:

will keep updated as more work gets done

Are your moulds going to remove the dimples on the back of the lens so it will be a TRUE clear lens (see through) or will it just be a clear version of the existing lens?

yeah i noticed the dimples and bubbles on the inside,
when i make a mould, i will get them out so yes it will be a true clear lens, smooth and clear

interesting.........

might be interested in just the lenses if thats possible. My Project F lenses are not UV stable, so have yellowed slightly. Would like a brand new set. They are the same shape as the normal lenses but dont have the dimples or the ridge that glues into the stock units. Am getting quoted $1000 for the mould to make new ones

You need to share those Project F lights dwayne and get a group buy happening.

Im sure if you n connor work together you can get a few cheap replicas made - im sure you wont have any problem getting the numbers

a) he doesnt need too, and
b) i dont think project F would like there lights copied

its a bit like guys who ask for a copy of my wing,

why would i de-value my wing, make it less rare so someone else can have the same as me?

Added to that is the design flaws. Mine have areas where the bulbs have gotten too hot and started to melt the housing, so its not a good unit to start from. I think Connor has the right idea. With a fibreglass insert inside stock lights, it keeps the cost down.

This ...

We all know Project F are a bit of a "faulty" unit ... That is why many of us have not bothered with the huge price of them... If they were cheaper, we would accept ... But paying top dollar for something you know is not going to last the ages of time, is just not worth it.

The best inventions simply take an existing product, and make it better... Just my $0.02 I guess..
