Clear honeycombs are sweet. Been discussed before on how much a PITA they would be to produce though.

But I want them! NOW! Lol, seriously, whats the story behind them? That the only car that has em?

Though now I'm reading clear tail lights are illegal apparently?

Seems like somebody could make the housing in clear with no honeycomb and either buy/have a pattern made and overlay it on the lights? Then perhaps coat over it to just save it? I wouldn't mind experimenting with a pair if I got them cheap, not that I have any experience.

My plan for making the clear lenses is to form a clear lens from an original then place the Hexagon Pattern on the inside, spray black paint, then peel the hegagons off. With the paint on the inside, it couldn't get damaged. I'd then coat with a good clear inside and out before reassembling the light.

OP, the renderings look pretty neat. Definitely 2011+ 5.0ish.

I do like the clear honeycombs the most, tho. To bad they aren't real.

6LE, I've never ever seen aftermarket Pontiac taillights. I wonder why? Either it was hard to beat the original design or the market is to small maybe? I wouldn't even know where to start with making some quality taillights. How does the car manufactures do it?

No, they do not. Stock or nothing!

Out of curiosity, what do you think a ball park price would be for two of the tails?

If they were able to be 250-300$ (shipping not included) and you could copy the ones in the photoshop of the black car, you have one buyer.

Stock ones sell for 175-200$ shipped... So I think it would be smart for you as well if you could hit that price, why not buy yours for another 100-125$?

It could be a core exchange thing, if you use the stock ones.. I would send mine in + 100-175$ for the ones in the pic.

I only ask 6LE, if it happens.. Please make them look like the pic, NOTHING extra... And light up exactly like Factory, nothing more.

You have some awesome designs concepts and products but a few I have seen if they would have stuck with the first design, I would buy it... But the final product is a bit too much for me.

Less is more I guess for me.

This.

6LE, if you make them, I'll be the second on your list. Unless you put me first, because, well, **** lemons.

But seriously, even if you made a trial run or two, I'd be very very interested.

Hey screw you all I called first in line damnit!

Looks like you have a pretty big list already and I could only image more people who would want to get their hands on a set of these once they have been made.

Who would be in for JUST lenses (you'd have to do the rest yourself)?
