The Highbeams and fogs (3 generations no-less) would have to be sculpted a bit to remove the fluted factory lines. I can anticipate that if it is economically feasible to make a generation of fogs that it will be the 97-00's (First, at least) considering the RideSkinz lip is based on this design.

If they actually make it to production they will definitely be quality, so no worries on that front. Hope we can get to that point; and yes I have mentioned as well that it might be a good idea to try Kickstarter. I'm excited to hear back with the news!
Great update, can't wait to send payment and pick up these bad boys

I'm interested in seeing this happen.
I definitely would like to replace my clear ebay lenses with the clear oem fitted lenses.

But, aren't there only about 5 SC's total in Australia? jk jk
Wonder what shipping costs would be? Probably killer...

So, 4 years from now, or will you be ready in a month or so? Every real buyer helps the cause!

I'm not sure where this $200 price-tag estimate came from but I really doubt they will be that cheap...

That's just how much everybody is willing to pay here. If it's a whole lot more then I guess not many of us are gonna buy them :|

I guess it will depend on how much you love your SC?

If your SC needed clear prescription glasses, would you just let it get old and go blind?

(To me, even when new they look dated/old with all those lines; as if they were designed by Calty in 1990 to be released in 1992, possibly?)

haha...I actually know the lead designer/clay modeler who worked on the SC back in the early 90's at Calty (Dennis Campbell). I'll have to ask him a few questions about the SC when I see him

Awesome! Wouldn't it be an amazing cyclical event if he helped sculpt the clear highs and fogs to update his original design?!! I can see it now! Though he might charge $150 an hour or something... Ok, never gonna happen, but that's strange that you know him :

lol!

You should get the Calty designer to do an AMA (Ask me Anything... I'm sure there are some reddit people here).

Set a specific time for him to come chat with us on the forums. I think it would be really cool to talk to one of the designers of our car.
