The vendor wants $150K precommitted before making the molds? Wow. Just, wow.

Sunk cost on these things is probably like $30K, and incremental costs are probably <$150/unit.

Unless you're using union labor and whale oil for jig lube.

The Dectane units are nice...

Hopefully they will make a wide body version.

I think it will look odd on c4s because the red portion of the new tail lights will not match the red color of the center reflector. What do you think?

I've worried about the look on a C4S also. If the wide body lights are the design presented here, then they may not match. If they are the Dectane style, they may look odd too.

I wonder how well they will integrate with the C4S reflector in terms of color. Hopefully well. That will make the C4S rear look even better!

I'm in too assuming it aligns and matches with the reflector.

If you scroll down, you'll see that they don't fit 4S or Turbo cars.

Yea i know but looking at the picture they seem to be the wide body size. Could just be a digital picture and not an actual light.
