AND DON'T SAY NEXT COLLECTION BECAUSE $90 FOR A PAIR OF CLEAR BUMPER LENS IS CRAZY.
I'm sure there are at least a hundred other people in this forum that want clear bumper lens for their p11s. And none of us can find them???
Someone, somewhere must know where to get them...if anyone has any clues or if they know anywhere...put it on this post so we can help each other out.

I went out and made my own. They kind of look a little cheezy, but it cost me a total of $5 and 1 hour of my time.
Basically, i went to a plastic place, gave them my bumper lens, showed them which plastic i wanted (clear lexan) and they cut it for me. I then sawed off the colored reflector part, painted the inside a reflector silver, painted the lexan with a etched glass spray paint, and vollla, clear bumper lenses. I went a little cheezer though and got some Scotchbrite reflector tape (its silver and super reflective) and placed a strip across the middle to retain some reflective properties.
I think i will have to redo it again though. It looks really good from a few feet away, but when you get really close it looks kinda rice.
Just goes to show it can be done!

$90 a pair is crazy. But if there is no one else that carries them, that $90 may be worth it :D

wife and i been talking about molding one from plastic resin..you know those used for arts and crafts. only issue with dat is....how well would the plastic hold up to weather... so been kinda holding off on the project.
as long as you can get that projector part right on the lense, it should look pretty cool. not sure about painting it silver though.....ehehehe. do you have any picts? :D
