Does anyone make them? Seems like it would not be rocket science or anything. Their are like 5 companies making them for bugs, is that because their are 15 bajillion bugs out there and only a few 914's? They could charge a mint for them, and once you got the molds right, they would cost pennies apiece.

The tail lenses are actually made up of 4 different pieces which are glued together (outside curved edge, center piece which had a prismed insert and backup light section). This would require 8 different molds to make one set (left & right). Over the winter, after I finish some other projects I will look at them again. Hardest part would be finding the special bolts to use as inserts.
