gotta love the red turn signal lenses. anyone with a 2000cs or early 2800cs would be smart to have a set. also amazing for certain color cars (that aren't perfect original cars) where the red / amber jumps off of the paint color and the red / red just looks great. for instance black coupes or white coupes i also prefer it on dark blue coupes.

lenses arrived well thank you stan
to bring some feedback with photos, i checked the lenses against frames























hope this helps,
Most folks here admire your skills as a craftsman, and your attention to detail, and your ability to document what and how you execute various projects...Have you yet done any trials or installed any of the lenses? I am mostly curious what method you are using and the finished result. Thanks. Might have to be a separate thread, so we don't step on Stan's thread. (Happy Birthday again Stan!)

For a while it seemed as though I couldn't get them made fast enough.
I think the demand has been satisfied.
I still have one set with red lenses and another 3 sets.
I can bring set to LOTA in November

certainly, such a titanic job, to @Stan the highest recognition
just waiting for the frames to arrive from rechroming
so we can discuss how to glue the lenses and see how it turns out

I am re-starting this thread to avoid confusion.
It really should have been here for a year at least :confused:

I can get lenses with red or amber turn signal indicators
I can get lenses with clear or amber (French style ooo la la) brake lights
I send installation instructions
This does NOT include frames or bulb housing

Based on my experience with the guy making them, you are a year away. These lenses are very difficult to form properly and all the work is done by hand. Frankly I am amazed he charges so little. The bottom line is I get about 10 sets of lenses every 6 months or so. I can put you on the list. There are 80 on the list but I have sold to about 30 so far.

The manufacturer (craftsman?) informed me of a price increase on the next batch so they will be about $315.oo for a full set (six pieces) plus delivery which in the continental USA has been about $15.00. So far I haven't needed to buy boxes or packing material.

I am sure some of the California guys can chime in on where to get the frames rechromed. @HB Chris or @OCCoupe
There are 3 separate lenses and they are removed with a hot knife (electric), a Dremel tool or a hammer.
