No big problem though; I can cut down the corner and reshape it for anyone that sends in an r/t set. It looks like the difference is only about 1/4 of an inch. It'll take some extra work but I don't mind.
    I think he's talking about the actual painted piece that goes on top of the assembly to cover it up. Oh well, you'll figure it out when I send my lights in

    I think he's making the piece so it replaces the plastic bezel, right? In that case, it would be different on the R/T's.

    Ok, I have an update. I've finished up the revisions on the brackets. Everything is centered and fits right so I'll have the metal shop make reproductions ASAP. In the meantime I'll be working on shaping the bezel. After the brackets are done they'll go to the powder coater for some matte black. We've also got snake eye deletes coming up for sale soon, and if you like our work please follow us on facebook!

    I apologize for my awful pictures in advance, but here are a few with them on the car. I found that the HID ballasts fit pretty well in a little space between the turn signal and the headlight. You could easily velcro or sticky tape them down in there so they wouldn't bounce around but you could easily remove/disconnect them. on the R/T you don't have a space there, so R/T owners will have to mount them elsewhere. I also wanted to show the finished snake eye deletes, and the rough shape of a new 1g lip. I'm determined to make the first functional, flexible, polyurethane lip for the 1g.





    These pictures are a couple days old; the front bezel is almost done and it makes them look 1000x better. more to come...

    Do you already have 9 people ready and waiting? You've got it shown with the snake-eye delete... Safe to assume you can use the snake eyes if you wish?

    yes, that's a safe assumption. They work fine with the factory snake eye lenses.
    I've got a lot more than 9 people waiting. Now that they're almost finished I'm getting a lot of interest. We'll see how the first 10 sets go, and if it all works out well I may make another 10.
