the thought crossed my mind. but as you probably have seen throughout this post, there is a wide array of ideas on what kind of lights should be used. here's the scoop...

PLEASE READ... (LONG)

we can make just about ANYTHING for ANY car out there. however, when it comes to doing custom things per individual, it gets very costly. For example, EACH of the taillights on my mystique took about a TOTAL of 20-25 man hours from refabbing the quarter panel to the final stage of buffing out the clear. I don't think many people in this world would want to dump the money equivalent to 40 hours of labor for a pair of lights. So, here's my goal...

Goal of these "Morette style" headlights. I am playing around with different ways of making a durable custom assembly. I know these units are going to be used on a lot of 98+ contours that are driven daily and in many different driving conditions. This is the pain in the a$$ part. I WILL NOT PUT THESE OUT FOR SALE UNTIL I AM CONFIDENT THAT THEY WILL HOLD UP AND LOOK GREAT FOR A LONG TIME. I don't want to be thought of as another "APC" type company.

I know it may seem like things are taking a while, and I must say yes, this is a little tricky, but the bulk of the time has been taken up by looking and staring and imagining. Kinda like what pauly tuttle does on orange county choppers lol. But anyway, once the first set is finished, RGSOUNDF will be driving around with them on one of his contours. He drives his car daily, and under many different weather conditions. From his feedback I will be able to determine if there needs to be any changes made before more are made. It's a lengthy process, but any of you who have done quality custom bodywork know it takes a while.

Deposits: Some of you have mentioned that you'd be willing to make a deposit, however, i do NOT want to take any deposits. I am using my own money because its easier to keep track of, and mainly because I don't want to feel pressured. I am a patient and thorough person who is taking on a number of projects, so I will keep this post updated probably once a week. My next post should include a picture of at least one prototype. I just ask for your patience and understanding.

In the meantime I'll be posting a few CEG sales and group buys to hopefully make the wait feel shorter:)
