Those look badass, I can't wait to see them finished and on the car. Will you be doing the rotor design permanetely now (just making sure you aren't making this a one time deal) and how long will it take you to do set now? I want the rotor shapes but can't be without my car for too long.

I'll need $50 every time someone wants to use my rotor design...

I think he'll do it for you. And the only reason it took him this long to do it was because
  • I told him I didn't need it done quickly, the car is down for the winter anyways
  • His motor blew
  • He broke his digicam

He can more than likely do these just as fast as the circles now (which is like 12 hour turnaround, right?)

I am not so sure that I like them. They look like the rotors are pretty small. What if the center rotor was upside down and all 3 were made larger? I don't know, it will be great to see them on an actual car, that might change my mind. I Can't wait to see the pics...

im trying to get them done. i cant spray them because it is raining here. i also broke my digicam and i had to buy another one so that took a while. plus i had a motor rebuild and finals going on at the same time so thats why it got delayed.

about doing these again, i dont think i would do these for the same price because i waste 3 times more paper to make these as i do on the cirlces because i have to cut out 3 big circles and only use the section that they intersect so i went through 7 feet of paper just to do Jeff's (911GT2)'s lights. also, one out of 5 cutouts would come out right.

ill post pics later of what i mean.

i still dont know. if there is enought intrest in them, it might be about $25 more but if not, i might just not do them anymore. i just need about 3 more people to do them.


i also think 911GT2 copyrighted them already

if anyone wants to trade a PFC for custom, one of a kind, state of the art rotor shapes, that would be cool with me

ok, im done with the rotor shape lights:

http://www.goldenautomart.com/done%20rotors.htm

tell me what you think and if anyone wants the rotor shaped ones, they cost $100 because of more material used and way more time. turnaround time for these is about 3days to a week.

oh, also, you you want me to scrape off your sealent and put new sealent in there, i can do that for $20 more while its out! just if anyone is intrested. also, i have to know before so i can buy it in the exact amount because it costs me $14 for both lights. i have tried them on my lights and they work! if you have me reseal them, i will guarantee it from leaking ever again (not that my other ones have ever leaked but its 10 years old) just for sone thought!

They look really good! If enough people want them you could make a nice bundle of $$ to spend on your 7. I wanted to do it myself but I can't get the sealent off to remove the lens. It might be a trade secret but how did you do it? It's just that I really like doing as much of the work on my car as possible and if you're back ordered then I wouldn't have to back you up even more.

im not really back ordered. i have already finished all of those today (yea, 5 in one day!!!) because i did all of them at the same pace and it was easir but it took about a good 6 hours of work. i have already packed these lights and have no more to do until i receive another shipment so if you want to send them, its fine with me.

as for making money to spend on my 7, i am making money so i can pay off the rebuild of my motor that is costing over 6.5k for some reason!!!!

I don't know how to post a picture but I made a change to one posted on this thread with a suggested mod to the conversion (speaking to anyone). I would like to post it for others opinions and for your opinion as to whether or not it could be done (speaking to rzograbian)??
