I'm in for my 58 Bernina cab, LL8-GY

If you end up making RHD sets Luis, please count me in for LL4-GY RHD. Cheers!

Great News!

There are 31 confirmed requests! That means we are doing it!

2 more sets are requested IF the price goes down, so we are 11 short to get a lower price. I'll send a PM to all the members that were interested, to know if they want to be included with a lower price.

I am working in setting the web page www.lowlightwerks.com to place the orders. I implemented the color options and opened a business account with PayPal. I will include a Members Only section, named Low Light Werks Club, that will give the Founding Members the special price for this project. I plan to have it functional in a couple of days.

I'm also working on the shipping details, I ordered some sample boxes today and expect to make a table by next week, showing the different backers' countries.

In the side, we may have the Key Holder that shows in the owners manual:

I have an original sample and my sister has a leather shop!

I sent her a picture and she said that it is very likely she can reproduce it. I will see her shortly at our niece wedding on May 12.

If she can make it, I will included it for free to all project backers!

I'll post an up-date Friday.

Cheers,

Luis

Great news! Hopefully you can get critical mass to drive the price down which should get more on board.

Great news. I have a Karmann key fob if you need pics .

Dear Low Light Karmann Guia lovers,

WE DID IT!

WE reached the breaking point for the $1,257.40 price. A great price for a complete 8 piece rubber mats set!

Thank you to all the backers! I'm so happy that enough members committed to make this dream become a reality!

Last few days I have been working hard in creating a functional web-site that makes ordering secure and easy. I used the GoDaddy platform. It has 24/7 support and I really took advantage of it! They helped me to create the features needed for this project. I'm sure there is room for improvement, please feel free to let me know any suggestions to make the site better.

The site is live now! Please go and check it out:

www.lowlightwerks.com

To get the campaign pricing you MUST become a member. Founder Members will get an email with a COUPON CODE that will bring the published price down to the special campaign price at check out.

To become a Founder Member you have until May 15, 2018 to join. ALL COUPONS will expire on May 15, 2018. After that date, the special price won't be available anymore.

There is a Members Only tab, Low Light Werks' Club, where you can find all the campaign details. In order to have access to this page you need to become a member first. After you send your Membership information, you will receive an email with a link that will let you access the Club section. Also, you will receive a PERSONALIZED COUPON CODE that works once and expires on May 15, 2018. (This process is not immediate, as I need to create the Coupon Code. I will try to respond within 24 hours)

When you place your order, you will have to choose the COLOR and if you want Black Floor Mats (BKFM option).

Available shipping option(s) will show at check out. I believe I included all the backers' countries. Please let me know if your country is not in the list, and I will add it.

Payments will be done trough PayPal. You can use your card even if you are not a PayPal member.

If you have any question, you can contact me trough the Contact Form in the Home page, send me a TheSamba PM or post your question in the Forum. (There is a tab-link in the site to go to the Forum directly).

Cheers!

Luis

Fantastic Luis...just registered :)

The website looks very professional and the instructions look clear.

Congratulations, and well done Lowlight owners for supporting Luis's project in such numbers.

Hi Luis,
in France there is a good community of lowlight lovers, and looking at the list of registred people I do not see any French Guys here.

Let me start a thread in the following forum that is in French and dedicated to Karmann Ghia.
http://forumkarmannghia.forum-actif.net/forum

The barrier language may not help, but we may be able to get few more bumps in the list of people looking for your reproduction.

Good day everyone!

I stayed up late last night posting the great news that www.lowlightwerks.com is live.
After waking-up few hours ago, I noticed over 10 membership requests!

Thank you!

You will get your COUPON CODES shortly!

Also, a friend just mentioned that when using PayPal, you can apply for 6 months credit, 0% interest! (If you pay in full within the 6 month period).
I'm not sure if this applies to all countries, please let us know.

John and Jerome, thank you for your support!

You will hear from me soon...
Cheers!

Luis

Ordered and paid...thanks Luis :)

I notice you have the Grommets set advertised for $59...couldn't find them to add to the shopping basket.

Mon May 07, 2018 12:31 am

What is suggested for the RHD users? Do we simply join as founding members and just wait for news of a product for us?
