I applaud your effort. We need more people making parts and stuff for our cars.
Even if it's something I won't use, I think it's cool for you to do this.


I agree 100%. I won't use a set of clear lenses on my car, but I would encourage you or anyone else to continue developing parts for 914's.

I want an all orange lens. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)

I can make an all orange lens easy enough ,, It would be ALL orange back up light too,, I could make the orange as dark as stock lenses or very faint orange with the led bulbs It will still appear red when light are on. It is hard to say with a darker orange If the red bulbs will still look red thru the orange lens. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif)

"I can make an all orange lens easy enough"

If you could do that could you take a euro lens and orange out the white\clear backups and make a french lens replica easy??

Now I am just thinking out loud here but...

Couldn't you just take a clear set of the lenses and get some translucent paint and make any color combo you wish? I have done this befor for a display I was making that needed a blue see through window. I just painted with translucent blue and it seemed to work perfectly. Do it from the rear and it should last a long time...

Just a thought or am I freekin nuts here?

Those would look bitchin' on a silver car... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

I had mentioned getting clear ones for the front and Brad told me that clear would look terrible on a silver car...There is a silver car at SSI that has clear covers on the front. I don't think it looks bad, but it doesn't stand out either.

Don't listen to Brad, he doesn't know anything about 914's... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It's so rare that he's away from his computer, we must all take advantage of it!! Lyressa, let's do a repaint on your car before he comes back. What do you think about blue?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

That's true. It's one car I will not allow Brad to sell. He had a really cool red one at one time and swore up and down he was going to keep it, and next thing I know, he sold it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Not this one. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

yes that could be done too I just was not sure how people would react to that type of lens just having the paint for color on the inside as opposed to having pigment in the plastic like original
