Anyone know where to buy these other than UPR? I've had some on order from UPR for over a month now through a 3rd party and they gave me a refund this morning. They simply could not produce the goods and looking at the post here lately, it appears the illumination is not properly showing up. I just spoke to MGW and they tell me they will not be available from them until later in the year. They say they are working on the problem that UPR is having with their ***** not lighting up enough.....anyone heard of any other sources for these ***** that work...thanx for your time and everyone have a great Weekend!!!

I am boycotting UPR. Not from my experiances, but I've heard to many "horror stories". But in all fairness, it is up to you. As I have seen 1 or 2 happy customers. I read that if you get their green illuminesent AC *****, you will have to drill through the back (not all the way through) in order to get some illumination.

I'm boycotting them also...I ordered mine through Eman and they were most apologetic and tried and tried to get my order completed but kept getting the run around. Eman also said they have had several complaints and were told by UPR that the lighting is different on the 05s...well then, don't be selling the product if U know there is a problem...I think I will wait MGW as they say they are working on the known problem...

I also am waiting on the MGW ones. I emailed them about a week ago and they said around 4 more weeks.

I e-mailed them last night and got a response this morning from George at MGW. He told me that they are are the last operation now (whatever that means)... and that he's waiting to plate them. He told me that it'll hopefully be about two weeks till they're ready.

I'm impatiently waiting for a set of two-tone A/C *****. :bang:

I'm happy with my UPR A/C *****... They don't illuminate that much but the fit and finish of them is excellent...I had the steeda ones and the quality was very poor and they were more expensive.
