Sorry for asking this (I figure it's been asked before, ad nauseam), but where do I order alternate colo(u)red lenses for my emp... er, Rio car, now that empeg has been swallowed up by the corporate mach... er, Sonic Blue?

We have had a large number of these on order from the manufacturer for ages, but unfortunately the factory that applies the AR coating had a breakdown. I spoke with them yesterday, and it is going to be 3 to 4 weeks before we receive the stock.

At that time they will become available from our online stores, and from Car Toys.

I'm considering an amber lens. Thanks, anyway.

Hey! How about an on-line Empeg Swap Meet?

If anyone has an extra green plate they'd like to sell (or trade for my red), I'm game. I just got done with about 6 hours of taking the Dremel to the *(^%(*^%*^ silver-painted, non-standard radio trim ring in the WRX and it would just make my weekend to light up the Empeg in the right color!

Thanks,

Jim

Is the red AR?
Is the Blue AR?

I'll get the red no matter what, and the blue only if it is AR. How much? :)

If you're not worried about the AR coating and if you have a Mark I I'm now offering different colored lenses.

Take a look at this post.

Just in case you're interested.

Not yet, but keep in mind that the Mark II's use a 1/16th inch lens as opposed to the Mark I's 1/8th which is what the material is only available in, so when I design the one for a Mark II it is most likely not going to be able to use the Mark II fascia and will look more like a Mark I with Mark II buttons & volume knob. I do have one other idea though, but I can't try either of them out since my CNC is down & out at the moment (I think it's from this South Florida heat).

I will post when I have solutions worked out especially since there seems to be more Mark II owners than there are Mark I owners.

Steve
