What is a good/great price for clear lenses?...

Dont have to be Diamond Cut, looking for an estimate of what is the best deal anyone has seen and what would be a good or even decent deal.

I got mine for $44 shipped off ebay, procarparts.com ... however they lost it in the USPS mail and it took literally 6 months to get another one sent. Threatened em with fraud charges, filed a complaint with ebay, BBB, etc, etc, etc.

Got em, and they were still cheap tho, just took helluva long time.

All of them are about $40-50. Not worth all the trouble to try to save $5-$10. IMO

...

Best price for the Diamond cut is 55$ from Custommaxima.com, or Autodynamics.com ? not sure... but that is about as good as it gets. Custommaxima is 55$ SHIPPED so that might be better.... I ordered mine a few weeks ago, still waiting till he gets the shipment.
The regular ones are like 45$ or so. But there are people selling them used for 20$. but come on, how are clear corners going to be "used" you can't really damage or scratch them, you know? So if I was to buy regular clears I'd definately buy them used. I just wanted the diamond cut ones and no one wants to sell theirs.. I think "Delio" mentioned to me that he has a set of the plain clears he doesn't need. He's going to be at the Woodbury meet, perhaps u want to contact him and he'll bring them along if they are still available.


Damn man! I can't wait to see the car! on your near/future mod list you forgot to add: 20% tint all around or is it 5%?

Actually, its already tinted 20% all around, although the rear glass looks blurry and I might redo the entire job and also tint the front.

I bought three pairs (two front and one rear) for $24.00 each set. (ebay - procarparts.com) The only thing that sucked, is they charged me almost $16.00 for S&H for a 2lb. box! Oh well - about $88.00 (w/ S&H) for all three.

I got them in about six days - from the time they mailed them. Took about four days for them to return my emails....

Oh well - they are on now!

Okay, I think I am an idiot.

I thought you guys were talking about the side markers. (I have a 2001 SE and I replaced the front and rear side markers with clear lenses.)

Sorry!

I'd recommend CustomMaxima.com .. saw diamond cut for about $45 (don't know about shipping). THey're out of stock now but you can buy it. Plus they usually sell better-quality stuff. Look under the LIGHTING section.

I say, better to pay the $$$ up front, then to be a cheap$kate and regret later.
