Wow, those are amazing - please let us all know if he mass-produces!

I will let you guys know when he is ready to make multiple sets. Also another nice thing is that he will use brand new 97+ lights from Lexus each time. So you wont have to send yours to him like Clear Corners required. No down time on your car and you will still have your stock tails to keep.

that would probably drive the cost up a lot though. Unless he's willing to do exchanges

No not really, that first set was brand new lights out of the box. New 97s dont cost that much anymore. The problem with using your current tails is they have been sitting out in the sun the past 15 years. The plastic is now very hard and fragile and can easily break or crack when taking everything apart. New lights out of the box are much easier to work with and the sealant also comes apart easier.

looks great! most people will be interested but will balk when they find out the cost of materials/labor.
