$$$$$$$$$$$$$ WOW! More updates on Fiero GT Tail light lens!!!! $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ (Page 96/115)

My lenses arrived yesterday. I was number 68 on the original queue. The lenses will probably stay with my Fiero parts inside until the spring to stay out of the cold. My chicken, Pepper, will keep an eye on them. My dad saw the box and thought George on it was really cute.

We are no longer putting serial numbers on the lenses. In fact, yours, I believe, was the last one to receive a serial number.

Really? I’ll have a look at mine. Why are you taking it off?

I found I was not consistently recording the serial number with the customer. Instead, we are using a batch run tracking schtick. Through our accounting we can tell the date every lens was sold. Each p series of lenses (we are now at p1) has a sub series so we have p1 0014 We know when that was shipped and we know who those were sold to by matching up the dates. It is not precise but more accurate then not being diligent about recording the serial numbers.

The other thing was applying the serial number stickers was time consuming and considering I was not properly recording the serial numbers the tradeoff seemed to be a no brainer. Ultimately, GM doesn't require such a serial number and at the beginning it seemed like a good idea. Not that it was bad but it just didn't seem like a necessity.

I have never bought a repair part that was serial numbered, and I certainly didn't expect that my lenses would be, either.
I can appreciate why you might want that for your own tracking, but I really won't miss it.
Your life (or at least this project) is already very complex. Simplify!
