Clear SIDE lenses Group Buy

[LittleBeast]

Same here, my Tinted Side Markers from Ron at VXConcepts just completely fell apart last time I washed my car so I am in need of some replacements.

[cyronman]

Sorry everyone,
been busy with LIFE lately...moving, on-call 24/7 new job, etc.

Anyway,
I contacted Klearz last Monday (and will again this afternoon), and they are back in full production, though still busy. However, they've been waiting on me to send in a pair of lens kits for molding which I just ordered yesterday (thanks Gasmask) and should receive early next week. I plan on getting those out to Klearz immediately and then we'll sit back with our breaths held and await a quote. They did mention that they were still booked for about 2 months, but the faster we get the ball rolling the faster it COULD happen.
I have actually been reconsidering blackening mine out as some have tried, but after getting many of you worked into a frenzy about the lenses I didn't want to turn my back on the project.
Hang in there all, I will keep you all posted.

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah I want some too!!
Clear is cool!

So I ordered a new pair of side marker assemblies to send in to Klearz, and now they're telling me that to seperate the lens from the lens backing (which they have offered to do) it will compromise one or the other.
So, they need an additional pair to replicate a "quality" product.
The place that I ordered the first pair from does not have the lens seperate from the backside, I would have to order another pair.
So, does anyone know where to get either the lenses themselves, or the back, "lens housing" plastic part seperate from the lens before I have to buy another pair that will go to no use once they're molded and mailed back to me?
Or does anyone have these pieces that they are willing to LEND?

On a more positive note, they are ready to start their next project in the next two weeks. I was advised that besides this request, they have one other one that they're waiting on to begin. If I can get them a second pair of lenses by next week...they can start on these first.

I sent the pair I had in to them, so if they're not sure what they're talking about based off the pics I emailed them, we'll find out when they receive them next week.

Cy,

Thank you very much for working on this for everyone. I don't have any to spare but if there is anything else I can do to help please let me know.

I'm still interested in 1 pair, likely 2 pair if the price is not to bad.

I can't wait for them!! wooohoooo!!!

[Knigh7s]

How much is a pair (oem) going for? I'm sure some of us can pitch in several bucks towards another pair to send in by next week, with the amount of interested VXers.

What do you all think?

[cyronman]

Eh, that's not neccessary but thanks, really.
I'm thinking of just taking mine off to send in.
I really started this thread a lot earlier than I probably should have.

The first pair cost $50, and If I have to get a 2nd, I'd probably try to weasel them for 1 free set out of the whole bunch, ya know...for bringing them business.
think it would work?

Never hurts to ask , btw i'm in too!

[cyronman]

So I sent in a pair of lenses for them to look at, and today I heard back from them. They'll need yet another set to complete the mold process so I'll have to find one to send in, but...

They gave me a preliminary price that they foresee a pair costing, and the magic # is:


$75

They mentioned that that is with a white housing. They said for $5 more, they can color the housing. I'm not sure if that would matter, would it?

I don't think that's too bad a price, but I do want to ask them for a much better deal for people that want 2 sets. And it would be nice to have shipping included for $75.

Let's hear some thoughts.

[AK VX Lvr]

That price ($75) sounds reasonable, and I'd be in for one set. Are they going to make clear and smoked versions??

[nfpgasmask]

IF they are QUALITY, I am 100% down with paying $150 for 2 pairs. I'll even pay for the shipping. That's how bad I want clears. Even though, my blacked out side markers look good too.

[djkymar]

I agree if they are QUALITY then ill be is for one pair.

[CrnCnn]

Did you happen to see any finished product? Or did they just need a sample?

I would like to see how they look. I am still interested at that price for ones that are quality. Probably a couple sets. Any time frame? So I dont have to throw together that kinda money. (Kinda broke) The color of the housing doesnt concern me but for a few dollars more i would have them colored silver.

[tysamigo]

Ditto to CrnCnn's post. I'm down for 2 sets if they are of good quality and I 2 would also like them painted silver or chrome. I'm ready to purchase.
