Why 8 mod

[1customtruck]

I got an old pair of Why 8s with trashed lenses sitting around... My wife says the lenses are a little small for my face, I kinda agree... Does anyone have and suggestions for a donor lens I can drill out and put in these frames?

Chainlink should work, plus they’re available in cool colors. Here’s a photo of a set in front of a Gascan for size comparison.

I think the lens size is perfect, but I ain’t gonna tell her...

“He Who Choppeth” just used a donor Chainlink for me on a similarly sized O3.

Any pics of how it turned out?

Dang, they do look good... But I was wondering you think there's any polarized lenses that may work?

Those are OO Red polarized.
I’m sure there’d be others.
When you’ve reached minimums (15? posts), you should send a plea to @Chris A Hardaway for guidance. He’s the experienced hand ‘round here.

Hmm, I tried my own hand with a trashed pair of half jacket lenses... I think I like the size a little better... Unfortunately Chris said he can't do custom shapes or sizes yet, so I'm just playing around myself with old lenses right now.

That looks awesome.
I hope I can turn my O3 into my next RX Prog. Lenses Frame.
As backup I bought a Why 8 Matte Black.
I have an appointment later this week to order new Lenses.

Finally finished the project... Used @SiRacer420 's guide to cutting, and cut some Prizm Polarized Siphon lenses to custom make the size and shape I was looking for.
