NOT fix a sinkhole car!

They are looking for what GM car or truck these lenses came off of, so they can replace them with new parts.\

I know Oppo/Jalopnik peeps tend to know more about cars than is healthy so I cross posted it here figuring someone would know.

Post here or to their Facebook page if you know what they came off of.

Can't 3D print that?

From the picutre it looks like it comes off a 90s corvette. End sarcasm.

That would be an easier way to go about it.

I think with typical cheap 3d printing (dual plastic ribbon head) the boundary layers would end up being opaque to translucent rather than clear. It's possible to 3d print some clear acrylics truly clear, but I'm not sure they're easily colored amber or would hold up to driving use (as if, I know).

I guess it's easy enough to crowdsource the knowledge on it, in case it's available off something cheap.

I can't begin to think how much 3d printing is going to help the car restoration business.

You wouldn't download a car, would you?...

FUUUUUUUUCK THAT, I'm daily driving my 2.0L 20k RPM V16 F1 car as soon as 3D printing it becomes a practical reality!

You know what? I'm the type of person who yelled at the TV "soon, motherfuckers!" when I saw that before a movie.

Yes, I'm the type of person who yells at the TV.
