Clear tails thread

hmm, at first I was considering clear tail threads, but after seeing hte pics, i dont think it floats my way. Unless I get to see them in person, then I might like them. Do they have tail light covers for the alero?

You were considering "clear tail threads"??

Yes.. i'm sure you were.. we could all use some of those threads.... :rolleyes:

I don't care for those to much, although they prolly look better in person. I'm stuck on finding these babies below............

all he did was custom make them (take off the cover and stuff) like andrebra did when he first got into making clear taillights.

Pictured below is andrebras first set of clear taillights
btw: bryce doesnt like to clean his car...

lol jk

lol, mine were the first set ever......haha, just to show you how long this shenanigan has gone on, i made that first set back in january.....the clears are the shyt.....hens......CLEAR TAILS THREAD....the ALTEZZAS are just something that i came up with recently......along with the painted assemblies, LED, Smoked lenses, Frosted, pretty much anything you can think of we can do......just use your imagination, think of something original and let me know.....


PS: Brandon....thats when my car was clean......heres a better dirty night shot!!! cuz we all like our hoes dirty!!! :P

[AnderbrA]

Hey Bryce, "six01playa" here. My new member name is SprtSedan01, so you may want to change it on the list. Just wanted to give you that update. Talk to ya later.

[AnderbrA]

Sweet Will Ill update it.

i want some of these tails. they make them for stupid cars like hondas.

[AnderbrA]

shoulda bought a honda then eh?

Ander.....You may want to update my name as well....I was Shawn...but now I'm swat.......Got it?

So when are these gonna be done for everyone? It has been 6 months and I am starting to get a little impatient.

By the way old name was indyalero.

Josh, i asked up front for patience, you guys dont understand that this is a 1 man operation, start from scratch, research the best ways to do things......best silicone to put around the lenses to keep light from bleeding out, what type of epoxy to use for a strong, yet waterproof hold that will allow the plexi to flex with heat change, what type of extruded acrylic works best for the lenses, impact testing, scratching, scuffing, heat issues with the prismatic, paint for the borders, that will provide a decent match yet not prone to the elements.....temp in which the different types of extruded head porportionatelly, yet not enough to bubble, then cooldown time to be rigid enough to release pressure, not to mention the molds and the materials used to keep from scratching or marring the surface of the acrylic, yet providing a waveless curve....and the 700mile round trips across the state of SD to work on the molds, along with job hunting/interviews/ other errands....

ok im done

all i asked for upfront is patience, im sorry if im coming off as sharp, but you have to realize research and development takes a lot of time.....and MONEY! you have no idea how much money i have wasted on plexi that doesnt work or isnt perfect when trying to find the best, you cant just melt it back down and reuse it.....

ok now im really done....sorry guys its been an interesting week.


Bryce

I'll pass on a Honda. Those are for people that don't like a challege or being different. How long of a wait is there on these tail lights.

[AnderbrA]

First set of (the white altezzas....ill upload a pic in a bit) are hopefully sold on friday, then ill be able to redo the black altezzas for brad, most of the processes are perfected except for the silicone, which i think i got down now.

clears can be done in no time, altezzas will take a bit longer, and the other experiment ones will have to wait n see.

thats the best estimate i can give, the 10 presold sets are first, then its first come first serve after that.

[AnderbrA]

heres the white set done, we added the white border and some small silver stripes...gives good contrast.

around the altezza lens is where we had to find out a better way to use the silicone, as you can see its a little rough.....thats resolved now though.

there looking good dood, nice work

And how much are you asking for these? I might be interested.

[AnderbrA]

anyone want the set of white altezzas???? my hopeful buyer wants a dark set......

How much are you asking for them?
