Clear Headlight Strip, Who wants em'?
Ok guys, honestly speaking I don't know what it is made out of. I just got some info from a friend of mine that had his clears done by the same company. I e-mailed them asking them if they were interested in making these strips for the 350z and here we are. As for ETA it should be a 3-4 weeks after the sample is made. Once they approve the sample they will probably go ahead and go into production. I believe the first batch will have pretty good qty (not too sure) so I think they will be able to ship to a good amount of people. Like you guys I haven't seen the sample but I have seen the work they've done for 2 cars and they are pretty good. I mean it's only plastic, how bad could it be?? I am awaiting for pictures and I think once they get the production sample they will post in this thread for pre-orders. I will keep you guys updated once I know more. As for now I am not doing anything else then passing on information that they are giving me. Like I said I will forward all the e-mail address to the company of those who have e-mailed me once they have pictures of production sample.

So I got great news today. It shouldn't be too long now for these to become available. Like most of you guys I've been waiting patiently for them to finish a sample so these guys could approve it. Here's what they wrote me:
> FYI
>
> I have an enginieering sample in route to me for approval. I am not sure if
> they sent clear, smoked or both. I will let you know when I get them. This
> means that the molds are made and the first pulls have been done. Once
> approved, it should move fairly quickly.
Will keep you guys updated. Again if you wanted to be contacted with pre-orders by the manufacturers send me an e-mail to clearlights@gmail.com

Here is an update. We have a quote back from our manufacture, and we have
green lighted the producion. This is a formal step in the process. From that
we can set pricing. We have set the pricing for these at 60.00 + shipping.
The next step is to have an engineering sample delivered to us for the final
Green light. At that point, we will post the picture for others to see. Once
we sign off on the sample, the production run will start. At that point, we
will start to pre orders for them at a price of 55.00 + shipping.
I'm still gathering e-mail info @ clearlights@gmail.com just leave me your e-mail address and will foward this to them once it's on pre-orders.
