hey guys...i was thinking...why do companies NOT make clear turns for our years (94-95)? They make them for every year surrounding us...but NOT US!

. . . . so i was pondering . . . .

Why don't we get a huge group of people wanting them (i know there are a lot of them here) and do something about this tragic problem....LIKE GET THEM TO MAKE THEM!

...how'd we do that?

...just an idea...i would think if we sent the companies a letter saying "hey dude, we have several hundred people here wanting them...make them!" (maybe commit a price...or something?

LETS DO IT....

btw, what do you think?

?.dangerous when i ponder on the lack love people have for our celies (94-95)

It won't work because the number of people wanting them to be made doesn't payout to a company. It's not worth it to them to take the time and resources to do it.

yep, even with everybody on this site, theres still not enough of a demand to justify it. i see the lack of demand as a good thing though. that just means our cars are more unique in the tuning world >>.

this has been tried before, good luck, but you have some other options

1 make your own / have someone make some for you

2 do the 5th gen ones

3 convert to the 96+ front bumper

why dont you upgrade the bumper the 96+ bumper or modify the 96 clear turns to fit or fabricate some 94 version.

you beat me to it batman!

Sounds $$$ to convert to a 96-99 bumper (get the paint job and all . . . does not sound worth it --- I know it might sound contradicting to what i'm purposing... >>

- - - if you look at my sig...you can see i've made a pair....but i'd like a little more quality >>

....and the 5th. gen ones in my opinion look really ugly (people who have done that...don't get mad at me...just an opinion >>)

. . . cmon we gotta think really hard...someones gotta know how we can get a custom maker to make them?

don't get your hopes up

Ok if you guys are planning on making the front turn clear I know a bunch of company who'll be more then willing to redo your front turn signals to look like it came out from the Toyota factory. But one thing you should plan on is how many is going to be made clear & how much are your willing to spend & one more then would you want it made with couple LED lights or would you rather have it made with just stock bulb. You figure this out & let me know I'll talk to my people and gie you a price.
Here is a example pic of MR2 side turn signal

Why get a company to make them when we have people on this site to make them for us. If I wanted some clear turns ask fallen Hero to make me some. Fallen Hero makes Custom turn signals and tail lights just PM him if ya want some.

FallenHero's stuff rocks...but FallenHero can't make these for everyone!
- - - hes got a life other than making turns...plus they'd could possibly be cheaper than $70 (what fallenhero charges)...that's if we get enough people on board..lets see what it would cost though....(plus they could be better quality than FallenHeros -> no offence please, no offence meant<-)

interested Project95St202...lets see how much i'd cost....and how many people say "lets do it"....could you look into it?

thanks,

It's not hard looking in to a price but yet it will change alot on pricing if you know what I mean. One way or the other they would have to make some kind of profit making these Celica front turn signals for us if they do make them for us.
One more important fact would be you would have to personally ship in your own fron turn signal to get them done so think about shipping & handling as well depending where you live. I'm guessing more people cheaper it will be depending on stock bulb or LED bulb. Get a EST. of how many is looking to get & i'll try sending one of my front turn to make a ample for all of us.

Let's see a show of hands - - - who would be interested?

i think it would be eaier if some one sent the plastic to a company and just had them make the clear lens for us..... might have to order like a dozen of them but it is posiable..
same thing with are headlights .. hint people hint... ;-)

Good luck finding atleast 100 people intrested. Cuz only at these numbers normal comapys start making stuff. If you knew WHAT is involved in making them - you would think differently.

Cuz ussualy MOLD for housing, MOLD for clear glass will cost so much money what even after 100 sale i aint think it will pay up.

10 people to get this project ..... Started

Come-on guys and gals, lets see a show of hands besides me and Project95St202

OK why don't we just all stop here about what could happen and what not could happen. I will talk to them tomorrow & see where this project would lead us with price & amount is something they do not care .... it could start us of just making 1 set but yet it would be cheaper for us to make dozen.

thanks for your devotedness >> appreciated! >>

any updates project95st202?

i dont mind gettin a pair made by a professional...count me in...

>

Indeed sent pair of front amber to the shop few days ago, he's going to make a proto type of the clear ones. He said it should take about 1 1/2 weeks ~ 2 weeks the most. I'm waiting to see what it'll look like as well. Let hope that everything will work out perfect as if it was stock front turn signals
Any other info I'll post soon as the first prototype is sent back to me.

Hey doGGy... How much orders do you need to make them? how much would that cost?

>

None Im stuck with GT4 turns already, and really dont have a lot of time to start with somthing new... Even if i did, there wount be any necessary amount of people needed. Just what the price might not be right if i tryed to make them..

If i had 94-95 bumper at home or atlest cut out turn places from the bumper i would think about posibility to produce them as in whole new piece. As for now - i aint have anything like this so it is imposible to start somthing and run around looking for a celi to test fit them...

I would be interested in some proffessionally made ones, I'm interested to see how this turns out.

Cool guys, looks like we're getting some of the turn signal enthusiasts to speak up!
...and some pessimists too ...just as a warning...you're gunna want some in the end...

- - - - projectst202 and i will have pictures of them on our cars as soon as we get the protos...about 2 weeks - - - -

will post with any updates...

UK based celica-club member PaulN is currently working with a manufacturer to get a quality lens produced. Looking very promising but could do with some confirmed interest to speed up the process.

Hi All

I have some very good news regarding the Clear front Indicators.

I can get a completely clear lense that is the same quality as the standard ones you wont beable to tell from the manufacture orange ones and will have the dimples for splitting the light.

I can get a first batch done and they are going to cost around £50 a set. Plus P+P from the uk. (it would be good to deal with one person. That person would of course get a free set for the effort).

My supplier confirms they will be as good as the orignal ones with every detail but nice and clear, it may even have and codes from the existing ones!

I am about 4 weeks away from producing this first batch, the templates have been sourced and the moulds will be made in the next 2 weeks.

The batch size is 20 sets, i have currently 7 firm orders from Celica Club Uk but need 20 orders to even attempt to cover moulding costs.

Please note these will be very good quality and i would not expect anyone to pay if i wasn't happy with the batch first. If i get more orders i can make 2 batches.

My email address is paulATajsfitnessDOTcoDOTuk
