Agreed. If people want them, then go for it. I'll be excited to see them for '05-'09. But if they cost $80, then save it. Let me know when they're less than $20.
I think it's pretty interesting. Its not going to Hirt for someone to make a few bucks. Just like everything else in the market, people are going to find ways around paying for it. It's always going to happen.

Between my time spent designing these, and the cost to make these, it is well worth the $50. I'd pay more if someone else would've done all of the work for me. Everyone is entitled to their opinion of cost of a product. I'm going to get that when I post a something like this on a public forum.
Hopefully, enough people will like it, to negate the negative comments.

should have had them made in a satin black and a matte!!! that way people with any other color besides black who have a tail light pannel can choose what color they want based on the rear of the vehicle....
also to start selling you have to become a forum vendor which cost a few 100 bucks a month I believe! also should do a market research before trying to generate some kind of market to go towards.. Just some sudgestions!

I am sorry but the very last pic of post 86 makes it look cheap... Esp from a passerby. I know the 13s obviously don't have the light coming through the trim, but they also,don't create that "floating" black cover look like that last pic
it makes it look tacked on. Again, I respect the amount of work you did, but IMO, I don't care for it.

And as far as selling....I'm not looking to make any kind of real money off of these. I'm just looking to share my idea with everyone else.
And as for my price, that is the market on something like this. The tail light tint is the same price, and this falls under the same category.

I needed to show from every angle, and I had said in several past quotes that these don't cover to the very edge of the light. It leaves a ring around the edge. That is where my suggestion of the tail light trim bezel from places like AmericanMuscle has, comes into play. That covers the space, and finishes the effect. Also plasti-dip was suggested by another user, that would do the same thing. I am not going to offer something to someone, and not show them what they are getting. I know I'd be upset if I was expecting it to cover the whole light, and it didn't. I'm just making people aware visually. My overlay is just a cheaper alternative to the '13 style lights, until something else better comes out.
Thank you for your comments either way!
