love these. If you can keep it under 1k and have the option to add halos i will buy as long as the "bulge" isnt to much. Would the halos be on only when your lights are on or will they be on all the time?

Designs for the brakets were dropped off yesterday.

Thero-forming the lens is going to be rather expensive....but possibly do-able depending on quanity.

Here's a paper version of what the Aluminum frame will look like. (surprisingly this made drawing out the schematics MUCH easier.

why dont you take pre-orders with a non-refundable deposit like the other vendors do? Then you could get an idea of who really is going to buy...

I may once i have a general idea of the total cost. I don't like the idea of taking money for a product that doesn't exist.

...however, the idea of a small amount down payment isn't a bad idea. As soon as i get quote back from my thermoformers and Machine shop i'll definatly give it some consideration.

If the final product looks as good as I think it will, I have no problem placing a down payment for said product. I dont mind at all "investing" in the product before it is produced. Especially with a reputable vendor such as yourself.

All I can say is WOW!! These look to be the sharpest, nicest, coolest, and every other positive adjective that ends in "est" that I have ever seen!!

Way to go man!! I cant wait to see the final product. I have been holding off and holding off. Now I am SO glad that I haven't bought a set yet.

What a difference these will make on my Nassau Blue C5!!

I plan to offer these with completely clear lenses like the BPP kit. Painting "eyebrows" will be up to the individual. Otherwise everything looks to be plug and play so far.
