Given it's highly likely I'll end up in one of these things again I'll probably get a set. My old car was an MOT nightmare with the duff light.

Will there be a minimum quantity on each batch ? Judging by interest I may not be in the first lot but it's a no brainer to get these when they will be far superior to even new oem let alone shudders eBay fodder

There are a few components which have a saving when purchased in a batch, additionally it helps me section my time if i can produce batches rather than as a continuous activity/mess in the house.

 

As far as minimum quantity goes, if I struggle to get interest in the initial batches then it's unlikely there will be more batches.

Fezz, Can you add me to the first batch if you are look ok to make up the numbers for it. I wouldn't want to miss it as you are holding my lens :) Will I need to sign up to a crowdfunder or is this post sufficient. You know I am good for my word and will pay when you ask. thumbsup

Am interested. Would it not give you more confidence to manufacture both sides and in numbers if people are willing to pay in advance once you have sorted the manufacturing concepts? We know where you live so it does not need to go through crowd funding website once you have a working preproduction set.

How much as a estimate do I need to put aside to be able to buy these straight away?

Agree with Rusty.

 

Also, will they have the silver inserts to match NA lights if we want? or will they be all black?  

 

Personally for me, the silver inserts on a silver car look great :)

Can be combinations of silver, black or CF. Personally, i'll probably go silver inserts with CF surround.

 

Pricing soon - parts will be ready next week and I'll be able to do complete costing.

I'd love to go all black but I have NA rears and it might look odd.

The rears can be painted black, or I'm sure rears may be produced if there is a good enough up take on the fronts.....really appreciate the work gone into them so far! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

Assuming this is connected to original post for headlights that I am already part of?

What finish will the CF be

I would hazard a guess due to the complex shape of the light unit they will be either satin or twill weave
