Want to make clear lens stock fogs

I am going to get a friend to make me a set of clear lenses for stock 97-99 fogs.

reason: is that i'm going to put some projector inside of the housings so that i can get better output.

problem: my fog light lenses are gone. I tore them out w/a hammer and pliers b/c i thought... "i'll never need these SOB ever again!" That's wrong b/c my friend says he requires the old lens in order to take a mold for the new clear lens.

solution: Will anyone send me their fogs and let me open them up and remove the lens so we can get a proper mold? I'll pay for your shipping. Price will be no more than $40 to have a new clear lens. Lemme know guys.

*I doubt my friend is willing to make more than 2-3 pairs (i know i wouldn't want to)... so only a limited few will be available. *

I'd be interested also, but Im having trouble finding even a decent used pair of fogs. Why would you take off the lenses? That will just deteriorate everything inside the fogs, which is now exposed to all elements. Good idea on the clear fogs tho! If he gets a mold made, it should not be too much trouble making more than 2-3 sets(unless he doesnt want the money, Im sure more than 2-3 people would jump on these after seeing how they are done, and installed).

honestly our stock fogs look good but they perform terribly. I am going to put a projector inside of my fog housing. The projectors i'm using are the blazer brand fogs.

vilmaxima: are you looking for a pair of projectors or are you looking for a stock pair of maxima fogs?

I think the clear lens with a IS300 fog projector retro would be a good way to go. Can have lexus yellow with a clear look when off. The flutes in the stock lens would really screw up the beam pattern.

kzoosho i'm getting a friend off of hidplanet to do them by hand for me.

I have a feeling that sending them to a shop would be pricey.
