GTEASER Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Who wants CLEAR CORNERS? I have been in contact with Klearz and KlearzUSA (http://www.klearz.com and http://www.klearzusa.com) to produce clear front corner lenses for the 2010-2014 Legacy and they have agreed but initially require 10 sets to be purchased in order to make it worth their while to make the molds. Once the molds are made, these will be listed on their website for individuals to purchase in the future. Sets are anticipated to cost $55-$60 plus shipping and can be clear, light smoke, dark smoke, frosted or white in color. It will take several weeks following their receipt of a set of stock lenses. I will arrange getting them the stock lenses and a list of at least 10 committed buyers. Once they receive that, they will set up the preorders and payment with each buyer, make the molds and fulfill the orders. PICTURED BELOW IS MY FAILED ATTEMPT TO MOLD AND CAST A CLEAR CORNER LENS. Who is in? We have over 10 committed buyers in the 5th Gen Facebook Group. I will add forum users to that list. 1. 2. 3.....

Humble Rumble Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I already committed over on the facebook group, but how are these attached? Just adhesive?

They should have tabs have clip into slots on the headlight. But seems like the prototype does not have tabs. Can you confirm if they'll have it Joe? ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you confirm if they'll have it Joe? Ahh, dumb question on my part. Makes sense. And I believe the prototype pictures Joe provided were actually his own attempt at molding clear markers for himself. I believe the company hasn't made a prototype yet and will once the committed buyer list is submitted. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 When I did my failed attempt, I had to clip the tabs in order for my mold to release from the part. I don't know how Klearz will do it, if those tabs will be retained or if the new lenses will need to be adhered to the headlight. I will find out.

GTEASER Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Ah gotcha. Still thinking if I should go with clear or smoke Im going with the light smoke. I figure if I want them a little darker I can just smoke the silver bezel behind them.

cww516 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 RIT fabric dye actually works pretty well on plastic, you just have to be careful to pull said plastic out of the dye bath quick enough to not turn it completely black, and immediately rinse it in clean, cold water so you don't get any spotting. Not sure what type of plastic they're using, but I know some types take the dye more quickly than others. I've dyed white delrin black (which was the goal) and smoked a piece of clear HDPE (which I cut out of a piece of plastic packaging...), but it's been a few years, so I couldn't say how long those needed to stay in the bath. Only a couple minutes, though. Getting the lenses in the color you want on the first try is obviously the most efficient method, but if you decide they're too light for your tastes, RIT dye is cheaper than another set of lenses.

GTEASER Posted March 18, 2019 Author Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Is that light smoke or clear?Light smoke. I wanted to retain the reflective quality and was concerned that the dark smoke would not reflect enough. I will probably use a spray tint on the chrome bezel behind it to darken it a little more, but the lenses should still reflect white nicely.

Hanger Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Email him to get tracking number. It was sent by First Class mail. He sent mine to my billing address instead of my shipping address. He might have sent it to the wrong address with yours if you provided 2 different addresses. ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
