Background: Ok guys here's the deal. We have found a company to make us cleared plastic lenses for the celica. As of right now the regular pricing on these would be $110 for the lows or $105 for the highs. In a previously relayed e-mail from Lovo, the pricing was set at $100 but after further inspection of the lights and some long phone calls, the price went a bit higher. Shipping is also a standard $10 on all of his lenses.

News: Here's what I can tentatively offer right now. *All deals must also include appropriate paypal fees if paying by that*
1)Clear low beam lenses for $90 plus $8 shipping.
2)Clear high beam lenses for $85 plus $8 shipping.
3)All four lenses for $170 plus $10 shipping.
That is a decently priced savings on an already good price in my opinion.

Details: I am mailing out a set of lenses tomorrow so that he can make the mold. The bad part about this is that I will be losing ALL four lenses because of how he makes the lense. And honestly that REALLY sucks. (if someone would like to donate their old lenses to me upon receiving the new lenses it would be much appreciated) The turn around time is not set in stone either. Expect to wait around few weeks to a month before getting these. In order for us to obtain these prices I must get atleast 10 (TEN) customers for each set.

PLEASE READ: Because the light output is unknown at this time, I will be taking before and after pictures to ensure you are as informed as possible about what you will be getting into. Generally speaking, the light outpout onto the road will not be as good. It most likely will be a lot more focused and not spread out on the road. This brings up the question of HIDs. I will most likely buy a HID set to test out the before and after on these also atleast for the low beams. With all that said, these lenses will NOT meet DOT certification and are technically for "offroad use only" I will not be liable to problems associated with the lenses at ALL. I will provide a how-to on how to properly install these.

Other options: I will be pricing out how much it costs to chrome the inner front housing piece also. I plan to fiberglass and bondo the ridges to get a smooth appearance then test out the chroming option. I do not have a price for this yet.

Please e-mail ME with all questions as though Josh will not likely answer emails due to his busy schedule. As of today, I'm at the head of this operation and in charge. This means to email me with all questions and I will compile a FAQ and relay the questions to Josh. Thanks

With all of this said; let the list begin:
