    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.

    Red face Yup...

    Quality is assumed...at least by me. I don't know anyone who wants anything that's low quality on their VX!!!

    Smoked and Tinted were original options and there's been no mention of them no longer being so.
    I have not seen, in person, any sample of their work, although I'll ask them again if they have any throw-away piece they can mail me.
    I still have to send them another pair for them to produce a set of molds, so I would say it will still be at least a month, if not a couple before they are ready to sell.

    Does anyone with or who's had clear lenses in the past know if the bulb housing is even that visible through the lens? I wouldn't think the color of it to be too important, but I wouldn't want it to look tacky if it can be prevented.
    For those that have expressed interest in colored, I'll ask what options they have.

    Well I don’t know if you have purchased the clear fronts from Ron, but they aren’t that quality of a product. No offense to him I hear his skidplates are great but the lenses are …. Meh… So those of us that have got them are maybe a little leery of buying things like this that we cant put our hands on first.

    The housing for the ClearCorners ones was completely visible. Ron's was not. On both, however, the adhesive was a bit of an issue. You could see the bonding through the clear lens. I masked off thelens and painted a black frame around the light so you could not see the bond. Ron's were considerable less work to hide this since it was molded from the OEM as to where ClearCorners was a completely aftermarket design (flat compared to the bulbous OEM.... and flat was actually somewhat more desired in my opinion).

    Regardless of the $75 and the possible visible bond, as long as the plastic used doesnt brittle up and crack at the first sight of sun and/or cold, I am still game.

    Got an email from them today;
    " The molds are curing as we speak, we should have pictures to show you in about a week."
