To me, what they are made of is a moot point, I just want something that will handle the rocks, etc and is paintable. As I said before, if they are painted on the inside like Hightowers, that would be perfect, or is that the way they would be anyway?

Either you're not clear on the concept, here, or I am really misunderstanding you.
The Hightower treatment takes a large plastic assembly with a clear lens and paints those internal pieces of plastic that are not directly involved in shaping the light beam.
The morette treatment eliminates the big plastic bubble assembly. There is no longer anything inside the light to paint.
Please peruse this thread again, where you will find pictures of the morette treatment on pre and post 98, and of the very small, but dedicated and efficient, Hella light assemblies that mount in the morette frame.
Function before fashion.

wow, i finally got on here this evening and it looks like there's definately a huge interest in these things! thats great because the more buyers, the more reasonable the price. i've had a sudden surge of biz this week thankfully, but will continue to gather your suggestions and input over the next week or so and answer any questions you may have. i'm thinking of getting a set of those hella projectors and a set of my old 98 lights to get an idea of fitment and shaping of the new style. i am very picky, so please be patient:) with it being christmas and all, things are hectic, but i'm going to try my best and manufacture a product worthy of....  if for some reason i dont respond on here fast enough, please email me at dean@deanjoyce.com sometimes i can't login to these boards.

if i may make a suggestion:
I've been watching these group buys for about 6 months and so far i have NEVER seen one go smoothly. Unless you absolutly need the start-up capitol, make the lights and then sell them once they are done. I understand that with some of these GB's they need the money before hand to begin production but if it is possible to not do that, it seems a GB would go much better. Just my two cents. Or maybe just limit it to 5 people with a qurentee that if all goes smootly, you will open a GB for the rest of the people at the end of the first one. Just an idea.
Good luck.

the way i see it people do these Group buys all wrong. what you should do is make a product first and then say, "hey who wants one?" there is no reason to gauge interest in morette lights for example because you know that the interest is going to be high, well for now it is anyway. the steam always seems to run out of these things because it takes too long to make a product. CEGers seem to be impulse buyers. show them the product and their eyes glaze over, druel runs down their chin, and they are ready to spend. give them more than a week to think about it and they start backing out of stuff or losing interest. just a thought or two. by the way i still want two sets of pre-98 in whatever you make them out of. thanks.

i should have an idea of production time, cost, and for what year/model the first sets will be made for. luckily i have access to a pre98 myst, a pre98 contour, a 98+ myst, and a 98+ contour
i dont want to accept any money until i at least have a set made for my car to show as an example.
