Ha agreed that's funny.

I've been trying to get a set of the "welfare" tails for awhile to make a set. Been shafted multiple times just trying to get a nice set. Getting quite annoying.

I found a guy that will build them. 250-350 depending on how many we want. Anyone else interested?

"Hey Eric,

Thanks for the email. That would definitly be a killer look. I've been a long time fan of that model Firebird/Trans Am. They were just one of the meanest looking production cars there were at the time without dumping $100k into a Viper or the like.

I "CAN" do just about anything, it always comes down down to price. I would need some more information. The big thing here would be,... do the tail lenses seperate from the housings or are they chemically bonded together and pretty much inseperable? If I can do JUST the lenses, then the costs stays down in a reasonable range. If I have to do housings as well, then the cost would be huge and probably nothing I'd want to take on.

Price is directly related to the number of orders. If we are talking just a few sets,.. say five for example, then as a very rough estimate for lenses only you'd be looking at something around $350 a set. Now if the number ordered jumps up to 10, then the price would probably come down to the $250-$300 range. Again, these are very rough numbers. Without having a set of the tails in my hands to look at, its impossible to give a good estimate.

Just let me know your thoughts and any information / ideas you have and we'll take it from there.

Thanks,

Jason

I'm not sure how good a clear lense would look, but I'm curious to see it.
