 |
|
after searching for some clip on headlight protectors i was told by the two companies that make them that they would have to make them for me. Those two companies are- wade a subsidiary of westin, and gt styling/ gts/ team xenon. team gts seemed most interested in helping. so if anyone is wanting to protect their german headlights lmk. GTS will make one just for me but it would be nice if they had a few more orders. smoked also available. not cheap @ 65$ but i might be able to get the price down with a few orders. I like these better then the film for the more complete coverage, especially on the edges.

Just talked to John at american best car parts, home of GTS. They are ready to roll with re-production of these. Headlight covers. John put me in contact with JWcustom accessories. This is who i will be purchasing through. His business is located quite close to the factory, and he is a regular customer. I inquired about a group discount, but without my UBI# (which is in the mail) we have to order through a vendor and JW is already charging the minimum price that gts requires they be sold at. So ill be ordering a set now, the manufacturing time is approx. 5 days so i should have them in time for mogfest! John at GTS (800-999-8753)has been helpful and its neat that they are producing these again, so i hope some other folks pick some up...

r.e.wing_fc3s,
Please post up ics when you get these covers. I'd love to see them before calling for a set of my own.
cheers,
