Yes. I've looked into this for us here and for the 996 guys. Even flown 45min away to go visit this factory and to deliver a set of amber lens so they can be copied. Great factory, advanced forming and injection methods and all but man.......

Minimum order: 2,000pcs
Mfg price: $228 (L+R)
Suggested retail price: $325

If I don't go for the min qty 2,000 units, he then charges me for the mold work = $30,000 (one shot deal)

30,000/325= I'd need to sell a hundred kits before even starting making a penny profit lol

Harsh life eh
