again, AWESOME!!!
yeah this is the first time that these guys have ever been in front of the contour. the only lights they have seen were the ones i sent them in april.
this was an awesome first test fitting and i wish i would have gotten a pic of the cm by cm measurements that were taken to fill in the gaps. gerard was meticulous with these lights. morette is a first class company with first class employees. it was a pleasure to host them for this fitting.
see the morette usa booth at sema this year.

You said they will cost less than we think...How did that come about? Did they tell you a price, or did you say "this is how much people are estimating the final cost to be" and they said "it will be less than that."

I have to agree. I expressed concerns about how the plastic tabs on the OEM housings easily break (I have at least one broken tab on all four of my housings). Both Herold and Gerard explained (well, Gerard could only show since he doesn't speak English) how they took that into consideration when fabricating the prototypes. The mounts are much more flexible than OEM ones. I was also impressed with how well the prototypes looked despite Morette designing them without ever having touched a Contour until today. Mikey was right; Gerard did a lot of work today and I know that the final product will be first class.
I know some are concerned about cost, but I have to say after seeing them in person I'm completely sold on these. We need to show these guys that we are serious about our aftermarket. If cash is a concern for you, do what pole120 and I are doing and start saving now.
Beer is my Gatorade.
Hooray Beer.
