[DeTomaso] GR4 lenses

[Scott Bell]

I purchased some of the inexpensive lenses and discovered they were simply clear lenses that had the colors applied by using some
sort of translucent paint.

The look was OK but doesn't have the new car shine that one would expect or want. 

It is way more expensive to make them with 3 different colors of plastic so they make them clear and paint the colors rather than
having colored plastic. I only mention this because it explains some of the price differences and the quality is different from one
maker to the next...

 >>>A very interesting point! I wasn't aware/hadn't considered the 
 possibility that the ones that the various vendors are selling are not genuine.


 

...And are they reproducing the Carello or Altissimo lenses.  The Altissimo

units have the same prism pattern all the way across the lense, where the

Carellos have a different pattern in the white back-up setion.  As a result

I think the Altissimos are the better looking of the two.
