They've replenished their stock and run $30/$35 depending on amber inserts. Take a look for yourself LINK (http://www.abrahamsmotorsport.com/e30.htm)

OH BARF!!!!
Yuck!!!!:( Why did he use the ugly housings that come with those lenses?!!?!

Now that I know what crystal clear lenses look like on an alpine E30, I must say that they don't belong there!
