Just been busy. My 71 year old mother broke her arm, so I've been busy taking care of my folks.
I did buy a set and have some concerns.

Honestly i am a little hesitant because I have such mixed feelings.
There was such a build up the to the final delivery, that the final product was less than expected I think.
The curved line around the trunk lock was covered in the video, but there are more such revelations from inside the lens along the tops..


Also the color is charcoal grey with a tinge of brown. Not black.

When I received my lenses I didn't look really closely at them because I was so excited. I took them to a club meeting for show and tell, there the guys really knit picked them apart. The masking around the edges on the black to clear has blemishes, The inside of the lens in the clear area has what appears to be a sag in the plastic shaped like a horseshoe about the same size. The sag isn't really visible when its viewed straight on, only at an angle when its help up to the light at an angle.

Also the letters have white in the ends of he masked letters. Not sure if it's leftover tape or what.







Over all I'm just glad to have them because my OEM ones are pretty far gone, but, for the price i guess I was just expecting a little more.
I can live with the curved line and color but the masking just leaves me a little grated is all.

Edit; mine are serial number 11. I assume the process got better along the way for others.

I was at the meeting as well for the showing of these lenses. I am on the list to get a pair but at this point I might hold off as I would like to see some of these concerns addressed with the later run. Is there anyone else that can look at these details on there lenses and put up some photos to see how they compare. I am OK with the color but the masking tape is an issue to me.

Thoughts??

I'm trying to figure out why they were designed with the curved lines around the lock. It's strange that they are so visible.

Has anyone contacted the manufacturer to air these concerns and field these questions.
He is right here on this forum.
hercimer01 DEC 07, 03:39 PM
Yes. We had him on the phone to present the lenses at our club meeting. People we asked about these things and got no direct answer. From the feed back in PMs and when I had him on the phone it appears the customer support may be questionable. He can address these concerns here if he feels so inclined.

WOW!

No one has come up with any replacement lens worth buying and the only option for all those delam lenses was a sub-standard exterior repaint IF there are no cracks and this is the thanks the guy gets?

C'mon folks, have a little love for what an awesome option available on a replacement lens being offered at a price that is far less than uber rare NOS ones.

Besides, not many people will ever notice these very minor issues and certainly not above 5 mph. But they will see delam from 500 feet away and at 50 mph.
