clear reflector intrest check.

[IRingTwyce]

I would definitely be in for probably two sets if the price were kept reasonable. Anxiously awaiting pics.

well mold is almost done. just gotta get everything set to pour.

I don't understand the reason for the reflect in the first place...
1) A tiny orange reflector does crap during the day...If you can't see an entire car in the daylight, you are retarded and can't be fit to drive.
2) If its night time, and you are driving around with your headlights on, that makes my the car pretty freakin visible without a little orange reflector.
3) And dawn and dusk it doesn't help either, if it isn't light enough to see the car, lights should be on...

*sigh* just another waste of DOT requirements...

and if the car is parked?

and if the car is parked?

Are you saying your drive into parked cars without reflectors? :laugh: Thats like putting hazard tape on a road cone...Its already there for a reason, why double state its purpose! :laugh: If you can't see a car sitting in a parking lot, its your fault for hitting it, useless your parking in a field in the middle of no where. lol


But anyway...Good job yamaha! Keep us posted!

 

[yamaha racer 686]

well the carlise guys will get to see it first but ill take a picture and post it up tonite.

 

[SicSE]

There have been several times where I parallel parked in a dark residential area. When walking away I couldn't really see my car... and was concerned. If I didn't have any reflectors up front, then I would have been worrying about my car until I got back to it.

So yes... 99% of the time I wouldn't care less if I had the reflectors, but if someone ran into my car because I didn't have reflectors, then I would feel like a dumbass.

pictures!!!

pictures!!!

this was just a test/prototype. there are air bubbles and an edge missing. but i have worked out the kinks or so i hope. the pictures show the right side reflector. for the leftside i am trying a different mold, one that hopefully doesnt let any air bubbles form while setting up. pictures for that should be up by next week.

 

[yamaha racer 686]

more...

 

[Project SVT]

*sigh* just another waste of DOT requirements...

Over here there's only a few cars that have side reflectors/lights, and they're usually cars made for mulitple markets (i.e. some Japanese car that shares parts with a US model).

When it's dark and raining in a small village and someone decides to start pulling out from a intersection or driveway that is blinded by a building, you'll realize why the DOT made them mandatory (1968 I believe...).

Dark colored cars with headlights set back a bit from the front of the car are invisible in those situations.
