Exclamation Clear Forward Turn Signal/Running and Sidemarker Lenses for Turbo and S2

I'm getting tired waiting for the Swedes to get their act together on making clear forward lenses of acceptable quality for the Turbo and S2. I personally think clear lenses with silver bulbs that burn amber would look quite sharp and give a modern update to our cars. I'm only planning on dealing with the front as from a stylistic standpoint they will complement the clear driving/fog lens.

I don't really want to get into the casting business myself as to do this correctly you need a vacuum and pressure chamber which would cost quite a bit of money.

So, I am setting up a meeting with a commercial casting company to see what can be done. Anyone that is interested, post your interest here so I have an idea how large the runs should be and if this is even feasible from a cost standpoint.

I'd be interested in a set of six (clear turn with amber bulbs in front, clear front side markers with amber bulbs, clear rear side markers with red or amber bulbs. I would be willing spend $100.

Ciao.
