Intrest in lights?

Okay guys I finally have the right technique to make these lights look OEM. For those that don't know I'm fabricating the FB taillights to be similar to the S5/99 Spec lights with the circles. My lights are smoked out so anyone who doesn't have their lights smoked out, the circles will be visible through the clear outer lense just like the S5/99 Spec lights. Now I'm just trying to track down a taillight to make a prototype of the light with the new technique. I'll include some pics of how I have the lights now so you get an idea of how it will look. Anyone interested can let me know via PM or make a list on here. Thanks

Price should be around $50 for a set plus shipping. I can smoke the lights to your specification if you like for extra. Probably about $15 or $20 extra to cover the cost of the tint. I pull the lense apart and mask out the circles, paint the lights, and reassemble. I can do these in a 1 day turn around.
EDIT: I can also smoke any of your lights, just PM me with the details on what you want smoked and how much.

I'll defintely have to get me a set of non smoked ones. I've always wanted to do this myself, but just never got around to it. And for 50 bucks, I'll gladly pay to have you do it.

Very awesome. I still want to make a prototype to show you guys how the finalized product will look. We should start a list going of who would be interested in a set.
1: boohame - Non smoked

The daylight photo in the attatchment is smoked, right? Would it be possible to see how they look during the day, in a non smoked version?

That's why I wanna make a prototype first, so you can see how they looked non smoked. My lights are smoked with 3 coats. Although here is a picture from before I smoked my lights. You just have to look really closely

Okay I'm starting to get materials gathered up so once I get a light or set of lights for the prototype I can make it and get pics up. Then I can start taking lights. Back up to the top

Once I make the prototypes and are happy with them I am going to send them to RX(ZONE) first with a $20 core charge. Then he will just send me his lights and I will send the $20 core charge back to him. This way we don't have to have any 7's down without taillights. Here's how we will do it with shipping and paying. You can send the $50 plus $20 core charge and I will send the lights. The shipping will come out of the core charge. If shipping is more than $20 I will let you know. Once the lights are on their way I will tell you what the shipping cost id do you know when you send me your lights. I have a set of lights located and will be getting them this week hopefully. So far we have:
1: boohame - Non smoked
2: RX(ZONE) - Smoked
3: notveryhappyjack - Non smoked

Alright the lights are on their way and should arrive by Tuesday. I have off on Tuesday so I will get the protos made up as soon as I get them. I'll take pics and get them up on here and get them shipped off to RX(ZONE) probably Wednesday. Then I'll start taking lights.

I can also just do 1 or two coats so it's not completely blacked out. I can smoke them to what ever you want. I think I'll make the protos and take pics and smoke one and take a pic
