The etching that i'm currently working on is very similar to the pict with the emblems for clear and smoked, I also am working on an alternative that has a CTS embedded as well. But looking into the mass production of these is where I want to be spot on to not have to deal with any issues.

By "diffused" and "diamond etching" i do not mean the Cadillac logo.

I mean the actual pattern inside the lense, if its rough to the touch. The same that the OEM ones feel. I am just using the term diffused because that was the term we used here when WW was making them. I actually didnt understand it at first either.

Here is a comparison (best pics I could find):

Subscribing to this thread, I'll take a set.

The diffused portion of the clear side markers is posing to be a bigger challenge to get them to turn out perfect. will post updates as this process continues.

Diffused is the only thing worth making, IMO.

I agree, the clear ones are not the look that I prefer, nor do I think that any one else would be interested.

Yea, I have smooth ones now... Even tho my housing is painted black in the back of them... when in direct sunlight or when the lights are on, it shows the back of the housing and I dont really like that look.

So, I am in for a set of smoked diffused sides if you get them right.

PS - Talk to WW, he said he would help you out.

WW had a laser machine to this right.
Do you have the equipment?
If so, what do you have? Show some photos!
Do you have knowledge if this type of thing?
There is 11 pages now and absolutly no hint of progress.

I believe I have an extra set of WW NON-diffused ones with the Cadillac crest etched in the center at home that i never used if anyone wants them. There was a picture of what they look like a page or so back I think. I never even unwrapped them from the way WW packaged them.

Anyone wants them I will let them go for what I paid, $20. Just going through a lot of stuff at my house this week I no longer need and remembered I got an extra set.

mrplease · #**104** (**permalink**) 03-07-08, 01:52 PM

why didn't you ever put'em on?

billab914 · #**105** (**permalink**) 03-07-08, 03:53 PM

I put the diffused ones on, I was confused what each of them would look like and I ended up with both sets.

I got to update my pics after the fogs are done with all of the orange gone.
