I think for $180.00 I would try and make them before I would buy them.

WOW!!!! $180!!!! ...for 3 LEDs?????

We'll have ours available within the next couple of weeks. 34 LED's for the turn signal and 6 for the color. A LOT cheaper and more function.

Hey, that's probably the best one I've seen so far, as far as aesthetics go. Not real functional for anything other than an accent, but pretty cool, IMO. WAY too much money, though. Shouldn't be hard to replicate (though drilling out the dots to be squares could be tricky...).

I expected that from you.

Funny thing is...they're acrylic...so that is kinda like plastic. You know...the same as what the OEM pieces are made out of?

nothing to against you Mike. Just by the look of the picture you provide. Plastic cover around. I could be wrong if you have better picture for it.

At least with this, they still keep the same outer ring



Look much better compare to plastic ring. I bought the EVO-R Z4 Style LED Side Markers that has the same concept as you for the outer ring and I don't even use it since they look so cheap.



compare to your



Outer ring: plastic
Z logo: plastic

I'll pass.

for the record there was a member selling those... and as i remember it they were much cheaper. but his name escapes me now. can someone help me out? they are an understated look, very clean. 180$ is highway robbery though

Not realy, a Mortis Chisel Bit (Square Drill Bit) can be had for less than $20 and the LEDs for less than that.

On Motoring "z327" was the originator of that particular version. Here's a link to his site. MUCH less expensive than the above ones.

Thanks for the link. Nice price, nice products!

I've been debating doing my emblems but these are sweet enough that I might focus on the strut bar cover instead.

I see what you mean Bubble. But, the pics I've posted are not of the final product. Those are of some pieces I molded myself. They had all kinds of flaws in them and were not painted. The final pieces are still at the injection molder being made right now. I'm expecting them to be here this week some time. They will be clear plastic when I get them, but then I'll be painting them with the same silver paint that is on your amber strips in your headlights. That will make them look just like the OEM pieces.


Mike

again Mike, i don't hold any thing to agaist you, just my observation. If you can improve on the look of this


I'll be the first to buy.

BTW, don't remind me of the headlights, hehehe...i have to pay another $300 to make it right. Quite disappoint in you because you don't back up your work but that was the past.

Love the title of the .jpg.

That is exactly what those are...cheap. If you'll notice...the circuit board is green too. That picture was of the first run of pcb's I had made. Since, they've been changed to white and 2 more LED's have been added to the center.
