Assman Report post Posted October 27, 2008 Time to place that LP560 order, slowpoke. Didn't he already trade in his Gallardo? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toreador Report post Posted November 6, 2008 I just saw this thread and I'm in too. Is there a way to make the top part (horizontal) of the light paintable? I would like to paint mine body color. It would look more like an LP light. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgsk Report post Posted November 7, 2008 Just added myself for when this project gets started. The more orders, the more motivated he should be to start. Right? 1. Slowpoke 2. v1obrat 3. HWjunkie 4. Spyder766 5. Twillight 6. VCR (the best around) 7. LemDog 8. Silk55 9. dgsk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VCR Report post Posted November 13, 2008 I saw those while I was at the factory's museum. I did ask on whether those can be ordered/made or not. The answer, naturally, was "we are sorry but it's a concept model only and we have no plans to make those." I guess they were right, they didn't make them --- not in that form.

TwilighT Report post Posted November 13, 2008 Nice find! There is a diecast model of this Gallardo concept on my desk, I was inspecting it sometimes and noticed some similarities with LP560 but never noticed the LED tail lights before Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason_B Report post Posted November 14, 2008 I can have leds tails made for G, but there is quite an initial investment needed to start this. I don't know how many pepople would be interested, but I can do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason_B Report post Posted November 14, 2008 It would be around 20k. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginyr Report post Posted November 14, 2008 QUOTE (Jason_B @ Nov 15 2008, 05:39 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It would be around 20k. And how much per each set of tail lights after that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_B Report post Posted November 14, 2008 I'm guessing 4-500 aprox a set, or 7-1k, I'd have to spend more time to get an accurate figure. This is an initial guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginyr Report post Posted November 14, 2008 20 people at $1,500 a set would do it. But then who would own the mold? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assman Report post Posted November 14, 2008 Wouldnt Jason_B own the mold? Also, I thought molds like that cost a lot more than 20k? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_B Report post Posted November 14, 2008 Yes, I would own the mold, and yes doing a mold is normally at least double this, sometimes more. 20k is my cost, and that's what I'd do it for. This is something I've always wanted to see done, so to get it done, this is what I'd do. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginyr Report post Posted November 15, 2008 How abou we come up with the $20,000 and you come up with the other $10,000 and keep the molds? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_B Report post Posted November 19, 2008 Just wanted to update. My partner is at the molding facility overseas right now and I hope to have more info soon. Hopefully it will be good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwilighT Report post Posted November 19, 2008 I must say I don't like the taillights on this concept car.. it's too red, standard taillights looks much better and flows with the lines of car.. Maybe the reventon style (clear) lights would be better Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it will be good. Assuming this is feasible (and thanks for taking up the challenge), a small request: can you make the lens "darker" please? I don't mean black but darker than the normal G lights and the Concept S. The rationale behind this is that (a) many G owners like to tint their rear lights ( all the so-called "special" edition G's (SE, Nera, Superleggera) have darker taillights that the "regular" G (I kid you not, Lambo's own literature say so and if you put the 2 lenses side-by-side, despite both being red, one is darker than the other).

Make them available in 2 colors. Original and tinted. I like the original brighter shade. It's safer and IMO looks better on lighter colored cars.
