Vent visors aren't my thing, but I bet I'd pay ~$50 for a decent set of taillight lenses (already have housings with broken stock lenses) made out of smoked lexan. Probably would give ~$30 for a pair of front corner lenses too. If you were to decide to make other things out of itNo festiva for me ATM...

it's a huge initial investment, i don't thing you'll get your investment back (may break even). i'd be in for several sets, but they'd have to be in the $75 range or less to consider it.Trees aren't kind to me...
currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

If I were to make taillight lenses, would you just use colored bulbs?
And what about the reflector aspect of it? Seems like a liability issue on my part.
I've got a pair of taillights that have been painted with the smoked paint, but I'm saving them for Fajita.1963 Fairlane - future NSS drag car

Those are the same ones the guys ordered and they didn't have them in stock, so they got refunded, hence my inquiry.

I could probably make up a set that would be molded off my smoothie lights, but they'd be more like the old GTS covers in that they'd go on the outside of where the lens goes. I don't think I can make a plug of the smoothies and get the lexan to form inside the negative mold. Just making covers, I can get it to go on the outside of the taillight.1963 Fairlane - future NSS drag car
