Not open for further replies.
'81-'87 Supreme/Supreme Brougham had clear lights.
'81-'84 Calais and '85-'87 Salon had amber lights.

I can't tell from the pics... Is the outer edge grey or vacuum plated like the originals?
 
They look very nice!
But they look to be painted gray, was hoping to start seeing vacuum metalized parts 🙁

You guys going to remake any chrome plated plastic?
i.e. Tail light bezels, grilles, headlight bezels, side seat trim, door handle plates.

Vacuum metalized parts?
i.e. reverse lights, interior trim, dash emblem, parking lights (obviously no), T-top opera lights.

Or how about correct anodized exterior trim around the windows?
 
My 86 is all stock and it has the clear lens' on it...

We recognized the chrome and have the mfg adjusting as necessary

ALL exterior trim correct anodizing procedure are being made. We debuted the Regal wheel molding trim last month at BPG. We also debuted the exterior anodized trim for the ttop window.

Tail light bezels will be incuded with the assemblies. Side seat trims we are trying to find NOS to take measurements from. Headlight bezels, and grilles (vertical billet style like my blue 81) will be available for T1 soon. Reverse lights are up next. Trying to get as much needed trims, sheetmetals, and light out that are needed the most, at first. Consoles for cutlass are on the hot plate.

I think a working side marker relay kit would sell hard too. Personally, I had planned to modify my side marker lights to accept bulbs because coincidentally the backs of both mine are cracked to sh*t so I figured I'd try to hardwire a relay to a bulb or some lil led's in there and run back a line to some extra light in the turn signal bulb so it lights up the ground like the newer park ave's and rivieras did. I forgot the proper name of that feature 😳

Toby mentioned consoles But we also have all the hard to get correct color shifter handles being built as well.

Yeah, I agree..a trim level or ordered option. My '85 had clear ones, I swapped them for amber ones. Generally, the sportier or higher end cutlass had amber, such as Calais/salon or Brogham.
True..., my 86 Salon came with amber lens and my rpo sticker shows the code for the front amber colored lens. Besides every GM advertisement pic I've seen of a Salon or 442 the bumper lens were always amber.

Here is the proof of the vacuumized chroming on the edges of the light. They were able to adjust accordingly. We chromed the edge up to the rear housing area.

Pacman, I just received the chrome prototype for me to approve. So now that I think it is ok I will ask them to proceed. I like to keep all interested so they stop scrapping the cars and selling them off. SO am I teasing??? DOnt mean to, I am letting all know we will have them sooner than later. Price will be affordable, no more $200.00 for a set of lights for the car. My goal is to have a complete front make over for the front of a Cutlass for around $500.00 THis would include all lights, bumper, grilles, and bezels.
