Last Call (Again) for Empeg Custom Lenses

Ok people. I had to go get one more piece and make another last run since people were sending the payment without first emailing too see if there were any left.

So this will be the last batch unless I see a constant flow of orders.

I have about 25 more Smoke now but email first BEFORE sending payment to check availability.

The rest of the info can be found in my original post here.

Part of the reason why you arent getting orders is that people dont see your posts once they fall off the first page of recent threads. We have hundreds of new users now, and most of them don't know that your product is available. Could you maybe post something on riocar.org about your lenses? Maybe you could post a link there to your website that has the different colors on it.

I was going to write the very same thing last night. Steve, make a post in General just telling people about the lenses with the links to your website. I'm sure no one will mind. You should be able to get a TON of new orders. Just look at the feedback your last thread in here generated. And I am willing to bet that the majority of readers skip right over this forum.

Now, what I'm interested in is if you're thinking about knocking off a simple metal face similar to your MK1 version for the MK2a. I thought you had mentioned about this possiblility long ago, but I could be wrong... This I would LOVE.

Bruno

Yes Yes... me too

how many clear lenses do you have left?

You know I completely forgot about that experiment since I put the prototypes away after getting po'ed that everybody dropped their interest it like yesterdays news when that other guy started working on his machined aluminum replacement for the Mark II. It sounded like nobody wanted to bothered with my old flat plastic plates.

If you guys are really interested maybe I'll take pictures of them and put them up on my web page.

I prefe to do business through email not the bbs.

Email me as per the instructions in the original post.

I'm interested, the one guy s right if I don't look at the board everyday you can get pretty far behind especially now.

I'd like to see the pics, so put em up. I also think the face shown in your current pics (does look like aluminum) is very effective looking. Clean. Nice. I really like the simple cut-out shape for the display.

Bruno

Alright. Give me some time though. I have to remember where I put them, then set up and take them and then remember how to make another page to put them up.

I believe that you'd get a constant flow of orders if I were to create a "Can we get other lens colors?" FAQ entry which linked to the lens comparison chart updated with photos of the custom lenses...

Agreed.

How about a sticky in the Announcements?

perhaps it's time for a "shameless commerce" section on riocar.org? custom facias, lenses, button kits, GPS bundles, etc...

Excellent idea. Tom?

Sure. I could do a small tracking database, and let all the payments be handled by something like PayPal. Anyone know of a commerce module for PHPNuke that I could start to hack at?

How many of the empeg sellers out there would use something like this?

Steve,

Got my lenses today and they are great. Brad is right WRT the smoked lense producing a light green that is a great match for the WRX dash illmination. I was also able to change the variable color on my Kenwwod to a light green that is a very close match. Great! Anyone contemplating a WRX would do well to grab a smoked plate while you've got them. I'll probably e-mail to check on getting one more as a spare.

Jim

Got my Smoked lense this morning, quick shipping to the UK, Thanks Steve. Now just waiting for tomorrow when my new WRX arrives

Yup! Mine arrived and fitted too, many thanks

My clear and smoked arrived here in Sweden today too. Very nice!

/Michael

Crap, people in Sweden are getting theirs and I haven't gotten mine yet? What's going on, Steve?

Chill dude! It ain't like I'm out to screw anyone.

Now, looking at my Stamps.com history, I sent yours on the 1st.

705 Meadowlark, right?

I know you wouldn't screw me! I was just curious if you got a chance to send 'em out or if there was a problem or delay of some type on your end. It's probably just stuck in a mail center somewhere so they can sniff for anthrax or something.

That is a distinct possibility given the area of the country that you live in is the same neck of the woods as our recent national catastrophe.

Give it time. If it ends ups not showing up at all we'll work something out.
