My sincerest apologies for the delay, and I very much appreciate your extended patience.

Thanks

Since I've already paid, I hope Ramy doesn't mind the question. Corksport sells the european glass lamps for like $450 bucks. Does anyone know if they are any better than our stock lense? For that much cabbage, I'd hope so, but I'm sticking with this GB no matter how long it takes the guys overseas to fill it. I also don't care about the light blending up to the left instead of the right, well that's not totally true. I do care, but not enough to stop me from getting them and allowing ME to see better at night.
So thanks Ramy and Jason on setting up this broup buy.

Tim

IIRC they don't help lighting they're just for the clear/updated look. I believe the reason they're so expensive is because they're glass.

Ok I just emailed 'em AGAIN, but I think they're ignoring my emails for now cuz they're essentially saying "It'll be ready when it's ready" =-/

Sorry guys...I'm pushing... Hopefully I'll have some info very soon.

Oh trust me, I know you are. I didn't give you any other option haha

Well, I just heard back from 'em. They said "because the amount is large, it seems to be a little late. Please wait for a while."

I got my lights in!! Woohoo, thanks Ramy. Oh wait, I jumped the gun Still ball bustin' ya Ramy!!!

So if these are a plastic lense, are we saving weight too? Not that I think the 1/2 a pound is great but hey, it's still 1/2 a pound.

Yeah, I saw that. I'd like the hatch but was waiting to see how fitment and quality is before I pop down $500 on that. Same with the N1 hood in this section. I like it, but want some feedback first.

I feel you Tim. I jumped on it simply b/c their fitment on other products was spot-on, namely the CF copy of the RE Amemiya tailight finisher. No one had any fitment problems at all. That, and the only other company I know of that makes the CF hatches is VIS (Pettit's doesn't even allow use of the hatch struts...it's for off-road use only). And the VIS one doesn't have any provisions for using the stock plastics on the hatch. So there aren't many choices out there really...

Not true.

I had fitment problems that I couldn't resolve (although I will admit that a professional body shop may have had more success). I emailed punksterz626 asking if he had any tips or if there was a possibility I got a bad copy and he never replied.

I just got word that the order is FINALLY complete!!! I'm finalizing shipping details as we speak. The lights will be here shortly!

Sorry for the delay guys (it was 100% *completely* out of my hands), and my *great* appreciation for your extended patience! It's the homestretch now...

Thanks
