I'm hoping (though not able to purchase atm) that these will have a lens, rather than the naked look. They look great don't get me wrong, but if there was a lens it would just polish off this mod making it look that much more classy.

I disagree and i'm pretty sure a lens isn't in the plans.

Yea if we can just adjust them where we want and put the shroud on and leave it alone im good with that. Not like it would be hard to remove the shroud to make adjustments if needed. As soon as we get the lightst i'll try to get on it asap. My manufacturer is willing to expedite this for us as wekll, so from start to finish it could be 6-8 weeks for the shrouds.

There is no lens in the works and one is not needed for these projectors.
We should have a GP set up soon. We're just crunching numbers with all of the parts needed.

It was also a fair consensus that liked the open look (author included
)If its any consolation, the projectors have glass lenses, which are less prone to scratching than a lexan lense over the entire assembly would be.

Thanks J! Was discussed in the design phase. For one thing, it would double the work (same as designing and moulding the shroud, just another part) and would insert another interface point (where the lenses have to mate up with the shrouds) narrowing manufacturing tolerances. And it would also insert attacment point design work.

As Jistari says, we discussed it. It would also add to the delivery time...
Could be more of a up-grade (and nocturnally aero-dynamic) option in the future...? Cost was JW and my main concern.

Hey Jhonathan, last July you made the following prediction:
4. We're still shooting for a high $700 price tag with 55 watt HID kits.
How bout you give us first GP'ers a deal; we'll show the lights to the Corvette world and they will beat a path to your door?
