send me an email and I'll send you the cut files (if I still have them). I trashed the computer but think I backed up those files. It is a 3 step cutting process. The diffused/repeating pattern is actually cutting - just at extremely low power and out of focus. The Logo is engraved (step 1 actually - then pull the masking). Then the perimeter is cut.
Trust me - I was sending these out at or below cost, in the end losing money to support my CadBrethren. Wish GM could have kept my biz...but it isn't to be.

If there is still interest. I can make complete set with side markers and fogs, for under $40
[/IMG] | definitely still interest! smoked ones - they don't have to be diffused for me, and $40 sounds f-ing fantastic. |

WW | thanks. I sent you PM. my father in law works @ some higgh end plastic company, and I though since you were not selling them anymore, just give hime a chance to make a few bucks. I brought him OEM side marker and I was shocked how fast they made a prototype. they even did a spacer in like a few min.  |

|  | Cadillac Owners Connoisseur | | Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Poway CA Age: 42 | | | Re: Produciton of CLEAR Fog/Side Markers Also, their designer gave me an option for those who cares about fashion. I am talking about fog lights
1. He can make 3D cuts using black plastic with big cadillac logo engraved. so, when fog lights are on (espessialy at night), it will lit up the logo. would look cool on black vehicles with black color matched grills.
2. I have a few sets og CTS fog lights. I was thinking try to murder them. paint black on the inside with clear front.
3. for those who does not want to deal with replacing clear on their fog lights, for a small fees, I can do advanced exchange with already finished ones. ( but I'll need old ones back) |

I can do it professionally and then send them to You let say. then all you'll have to do is replace your old ones for the new ones. and then send me the old ones back.
it will cost you few $$ for this type of service, but it's very convinience for some people (may be) |

| | Cadillac Owners Member Cadillac(s): Cadillac CTS | | | | | Re: Produciton of CLEAR Fog/Side Markers I"m glad that somebody was able to get these produced, I have been kicking the mackine that we have as it's not producing them to the quality that I want, or others would like. I"m very picky with offering a product that it's what I want on my car, When these are available let us in on the product. | | Cadillac Discussion Tools | | |
