Plastic murice head light lenses wanted ( MUST BE VERY GOOD QUALITY )
-
lexan lenses come in a flat sheet/curved without sides from mark clapp
search
-
I already have the mold ready to make the headlight lenses in acrylic, if anyone is interested??
I have to make a minimum order of 10 sets,,,
each set price is 80 euros.
would be nice to make a joint purchase for this good price
-
$109 usd is an awesome price compared to what I paid for the glass, I'd buy if I didn't already have them
and in my opinion they don't need to be exactly oem as long as they have sides
oem is a plus
-
if its a good price ...
but I have to do an order for 10 units.
would be good to make a joint purchase ...
They can make the reservation. private message
when you booked the 10 units will do the order ..
Greetings builders!
-
they must have sides.
-
I'd like to see a sample of what they look like.
-
this is an example of the first mold.
Here you can get an idea of how the finished piece will be
-
Aren't you 1 of 10? If not this means you have a lens for yourself to show?
-
I have shown the initial mold.
so they will be seen ...
A copy of this mold will be made of aluminum for thermoform.
-
I will buy a set
-
I am using a translator ... my English is very bad.
who wants a set please contact by private for payment instructions.
when you reach the 10 sets I send to manufacture.
must make 50% of the payment as a reserve.
when ready for shipment the other half sought payment costs more spending
-
Are these OEM spec? What is the source of the mold? What it the estimated delivery once everyone pays?
-
hi, if it is equal to oem,
a friend left a game to make the mold, I think were FGP.composites.
Approx 15 days, when everyone pays.
-
I don't need a set as I bought the glass ones from bierhansel.
But after buying the engine hatch hinges and seeing the incredible work. I am in for a set for sure as well...
Actually, I will take two sets... No questions.
-
Will these fit on a G28? if so im in for 2 sets immed. ::thumbup
-
you have to trim the fender some and make it fit
ever notice the opening doesn't go to the body line like oem
so it's for the best :)
-
ok i understand, but looking at the exterior edgeline of the lens runs directly on top of the bodyline / curve of the fender and any cuts or modification will directly effect the bodyline of the fender. not much room to modify at all, do you have any pics one already done? im just worried that i will mess up the look of the front end :-[ for G28 do you think its better to stick with a mark clapp flat lens and trim to fit? Thanks
Randy
-
I believe there is some pics in usmcbutler's build diary with the glass version installed
A lot of people go for the flat lens but they usually have a black outline around it where it mounts. It all depends if you're happy with how it looks in your build, also your budget and patience I guess.
Not sure what you mean by the edge of the lens, the base of the lens goes below the body. In that picture he posted it's a negative (mould) of the lens or it's upside down, however you want to look at it.
-
hello there managers and 10 sets ...
can make full payment if you wish ..
sending'll do the week of 01/08/2014.
paypal acount...joseortiz_27@hotmail.es
115 dollar set...plus shipping
-
I'm in. Payment sent. Thx
-
I have mounted the OEM lens in my G28 fenders, you will have to cut out to the body line on outside edge and on the driver side relocate the body line as it is a bit off
It's worth the effort and by far the finished product will visually speak for itself
I have also just sent full payment for two sets of headlamp lens...
-
ok you convinced me, i will just reshape the body line ( move it over) its got to be a huge improvement over the flat lens look dontcha think? i never really cared for the flat lens look anyway, doesnt look quite right does it? dont they scratch / flex real easy? count me in for two, lets go for it. ::thumbup Thanks
Randy
-
if you need any other part of the lighthouse,
or elsewhere
can order now ..
I can ship out a way to combine with.
-
Hello, I'm hoping to pay other members to begin the manufacture, thanks
-
This is a good opportunity for people to get lens for their build, the glass ones seem far out of reach for now so who knows when this will happen again?
Anyone on the fence should just go ahead, it's a small price for a good part
-
how much 4 a set
-
the price is very fair ...
I can not do discounts
4 set .460 dollar+shipping
-
how much 4 a set
He wants $115 per set + shipping and requires a 50% deposit up front to his paypal account joseortiz_27@hotmail.es
-
Another reason I am getting two sets, even though I have a glass set is the possibility of losing a lens to a rock or stone or something else that would leave me without a spare.... Lexan isn't going to break... Even if it got scratched you can polish it out quite well....
Once the glass breaks.... It's done.... Just saying
-
Hi there.
I am waiting for the payment of some users.
please make the payment.
others are waiting for you.
thank you
-
I will take a set for sure! Can't wait to see the first run! ::headbang
-
ok l am in for a pair. Could they be at least 2.5mm or 3mm thick
the last pair I bought fromFGP were too thin.
Please send me a PM with your pay pal address.
thanks.
So how many more people does he need?
-
hi...3mm
pay to paypal-
joseortiz_27@hotmail.es
-
Its confirmed they are 3mm thick and have sides, also using a alloy mould so they will be as smooth as glass and ripple free.
only 3 more people needed ! and only $115 a pair :-D
-
Hi there.

-

Chris

This post is for everyone who paid the full amount for their lenses.
115$ was the price stated.
This site is mainly based for the USA, I know I cant be the only guy who assumed this was a US dollar figure, even more so that it was stated with the Euro price converted to US.
I have paid the 57.50US deposit and quoted 110 shipping. Total= 225
Less deposit = 167.50
Now I asked to pay in Euro
that works out to be 300US a set, which is ridiculous for plastic lenses

I ended up paying 110 euro which is about $150 for shipping as well. I bought two sets though and was able to split the shipping cost so it wasn't as bad. Also, it seems pretty hard to come by lenses with sides like this so it's probably worth it.
-
Glass lenses were $400 or more USD (shipped from europe) but I guess he gets to set the price for a rare part. Main downside is how far away these guys are :(
-
[You can't change the price after a deposit has been paid, its the sellers responsible to list the currency,if none is listed its automatic as a US dollar, if you want to make money as a seller you have to expect losses when you make mistakes, or this whole industry will be a bunch of Rob lp640

I wonder what happened to the glass lenses people were working on? I stopped pursuing them because so many people said they were working on them and I didn't want to waste time, effort and money.
-
Did he ask you to pay 115 euros for your set? He charged me $115 USD per set. I think he was just requesting the shipping in euros. Also, he did mention somewhere that the price was $115 plus shipping.

-
the price was stated 115usd + SHIPPING long ago.
-
Two sets are $390.00 with shipping not counting my exchange fees which added a good sum from Canadian funds.
It might have made more sense to have all of the lens shipped to one person, then they ship them all out from the USA ....
Though then it would be the job of that person to follow through but in the long run I believe it would be cheaper
-
matthew ... paid 57.50 us
lacks 57.50 us +
122 us shipping to australia
total.179.50
-
179us is what i expected but in euro the price almost doubles .
I will add the money to your account
-
Any updates??? Anxious to see, hold, etc...
-
me 2. have they been shipped ?
-
I am wondering too.
I am not receiving any PM's from the guy. and it said he would update me on shipping last Friday!
-
hello, some deliveries are made.
this week I will find the missing boy polishing the lenses
-
::thumbup Then the boy won't be missing anymore! Yay. ::thumbup
-
Have you considered a missing persons add on a milk carton?
-
Anyone heard or received anything?
-
Whew, I'm glad I didn't send any money I would be divorced by now. Scarrry
-
????????
-
I ordered two sets and I'm not worried yet. It obviously takes time to make them and they are shipping from overseas.
Chris
-
please wait ...
-
Any updates?
-
Any idea when we can expect these to be shipped?
-
I got mine, they are ok.
-
Anyone seen or heard from Lambocars??? ::scratch
-
Anyone seen or heard from Lambocars??? ::scratch
No and it's been a while.
Chris
-
I still haven't received my lenses either

-
He told me not to worry that he is waiting on the polishing guy... But it has still been a long time
-
I guess the milk carton ads didn't work :o
-
hello, whether they are calm, because I have the missing lenses are packaged and ready to ship.
I had to travel to Italy for work this week return
thanks for your patience, among other matters vacation and I delayed a bit, but be assured that all is well ...
Some of you already have your lenses, can comment.
I am a serious man, whether they are quiet, thanks and sorry for the delay
-
Here are the lenses I received,
Ignore the fibreglass shavings inside the light, I will clean them out later,
As I have decided to add in some EL wire for day time driving lights like the Adventadoor has.

Your review please?
Chris
-
How is it that there was a picture shown of the lens complete yet they are not complete?
This is far too long after paying up front for what was promised.
If they are not "polished" offer a refund or discount and send them anyways.
-
yes,the lenses are polishing,escuseme my english...is a problem for me...
-
hello, I'm back from my voyage,
all orders were delivered to the transportation agency last Friday.
again thanks for your patience.
two sets are available for sale, immediate despatch.
greetings
-
I hope this picture is a little better.
The lenses are not bad, they fit good and the shape is also very good, the plexi glass used is 3mm thick but I would have thought it would be more solid with no flex at all but this could be the type of plexi that was used,
There are a few ripples on the lense but passable, the cut edge could have been better or left with over size for the customer to trim as it comes close to under size in some places, they polish up very well using Autosol plastic cleaner.
The price was reasonable for the product- 8 / 10 score
-
Is that some EL wire I see in there?
-
Yup ::tongue I thought this is how it would have been done if Lamborghini did it on the murice. I think it looks at home.
-
Cool. That is some fun stuff. You could put it on all the lines of your car and have a TRON Murcie. ;)
You may have seen these Aventadors before:

It's ment to be white, I bought two sets to see if the first seller was having a lend of me, but it turns out the white EL wire has a blue look to it but the photo makes it look a lot bluer than it really is.
I think it's best if I leave it at the lights :) it's funny you find yourself holding it in 100 different places on the car,
It's looks really good along the edge of the air flaps, edge of front grills, bottom edge of the scuff plates, side skirt lower outer edge, side skirt air dam edge and around insert, and along top of the rear defuser where the crease is... Oh it would also work along the back edge of the engine cover glass as it would glow through to the front edge ; )
-
the lens look good, how much trimming was required?
-
None, it was perfect in some places a little thin in others, but I guess everyone's light bases will be different.
Here's the El wire at night, it looks kinda weird : )
-
It would look mean with red bulbs in the projectors. The El wires would look like eyebrows with the red projectors being the eyes.
-
looks good, so you didnt have to trim your fenders to fit the lenses?
-
No.
-
any lenses left?
-
yes,two sets avaliable
-
how much for a set
-
guys your headlight covers were purchased from lambocars , i will update you tomorrow.
