    MHW Replica Tails or Red Tail Lights

    I'd like to gauge interest on tail lights, as I may like to put this into production.

    What I may offer is brand new replica MHW tail lights, and/or Red tail lights. Not tinted, no paint, just straight up replicas.

    Red Tails


    MHW Tails



    My decision is going to be based on how many people are interested in these. The price range for a new set of tail lights is going to be about $150-175.

    If we can get a good amount of people to throw down for the initial run, I may be able to bring the price to about $120 a set for the first batch.

    Let me know what you guys think, cause I would totally dig a new set of tails.

        Real reproductions would be sweet! Could you also do original Startechs for early models? And how would you go about making these?

          How are you going about doing this? Are you taking apart old tail lights and changing them to the MHW style? I was under the impression the smoking on real MHW's was achieved similarly to smoked headlights with a cross hair of sorts. Would there be an even lower price for a core sent in?

            If you can pull off MHW reps they will sell like crazy.

              Pardon the expression but fuck Reds. Do smoked as that's what the majority want. Besides, if you want all red you can simply paint the damn turn signals and have it all red. Hardly worth the effort to manufacture an entire taillight just for a red turn signal. My .02.

                These will be injection molded, using the colors of choice. Startecs may run on a separate batch.

                      I vote MHW but don't hate me if I say I kinda hope neither get produced....I might get buyers remorse for the price of my real ones.
