Hi All, been a very long time since I've posted anything here, I do lurk from time to time though. This lens project really caught my eye. Just wanted to thank kgoodyear for following through to the end. The quality looks excellent.
I am definitely interested in a set, but I would also like to know a little more about the tinted version before I jump in, I believe Raydar asked a few posts up. How tinted is tinted? |

This has been one of the more difficult questions to answer. .......George i believe showed the 50 shades of gray in a previous post. I believe our choice is #38. I have NO idea if it is going to be just right, too dark or too light.

I handled the lenses. I don't know enough about this for handling to be helpful in this area.

Quite honestly dropping the tinted lenses is probably the wisest choice. It’s more of a liability than you need, as the distributor. If someone decides to order a tinted set then gets pulled over, it can blow back on you. You’re already assuming a fairly large risk as it is.

Thank you for your input. Everyday I learn more and more and inevitably that leads to more and more refinement in our business practices. ------------------

On the tint issue, I would suggest clinging to familiarity in terms of current aftermarket offerings.
I think a fair tint would be one that is close to the current tinted quarter windows. I like being even, across the car, when I can.
There are likely a lot of arguments to "well, not all of us used those windows".
But a good many of us have purchased them, regardless, both tinted and clear alike. I own a set of each from the same maker, via the fiero store.

Smart move. Too many SKU's means too much inventory. Too much inventory means too much overhead. Stock what moves fast. A handfull of tinted fans will not pay the bills and that stock will be a slow mover compared to the OEM style.
Stay on course and keep up the great work. You're doing a fine job.

Yes it is a bummer but for numerous business reasons we thought there was just too much exposure especially when you can buy a tinting product that you can use to get just the tint you want.
