Hervé, I am indeed :/

If you guys wants to know what a Limited Edition looks like... well... there you have it. Right there on the kitchen table lol Those are the very (very) last batch of 'made-to-order' GT projectors!

Now the good and bad news:

Bad news first: They haven't shipped out yet. My apologies to all if this seems to take forever

Good news: ALLLLLL of the parts are manufactured, anodized, and ready to be assembled (finally). This will be carried out during the evenings of this week. Assembly is what I call "the easy part" so it should go pretty quickly and without a hitch. No-no machine servo drive burning, no carbide cutter exploding, coolant flooding due to chip jamming, what else happened during the last 4 weeks......etc etc. Assembling those kits is a paradise job (read fun) so I am really looking forward to this week.

Those 23 kits walks out of here this coming weekend and should be in your hands 7~10 days later

(so much else I need to update you guys on but I'll start by finishing what I've started - I bet some of you are waiting for those kit - sorry again)

They look great, thanks. No rush. You are providing everyone with a great product, and art can't be rushed right? I'm square in the middle of the pack of folks who were on the fence and jumped in at the last minute overwhelming you with orders at the 11th hour. Thanks for putting up with late orders and providing this product at a great price for all of us, so don't knock yourself out trying to rush these out. Wishing you the best - Jim

Chris, they are all long gone! I've passed those to my little post-lady here last Monday afternoon. The post office can process-out 5 kits per day under my (personal) ID therefore by latest Friday afternoon, all should have left the country. It's prepaid! Would go faster if I could use a friend's Co ID (e.g. no daily quota) but given the nature of the shipment I think we'll leave it that way for this last batch

I already have everyone's tracking numbers in hand. I'll update the GTP site with those # as soon as this smooth out. You'll get an automated email from the system when I punch those in!

On holiday now.... for the next 2 days lolll (back to work this Friday eve!)

Excellent! I think I'll go home and pull my headlights out tonight. Many thanks, now go enjoy your break. How are you coming on the kit to route the exhaust through the top and shoot flames, like the 918? I guess I would settle for just flames out the back though...

I attended Uber Fest this past Saturday here in North West Alabama, awesome event BTW.

We watched the cars run the track and there was an older 911 in Red with a Carbon Fibre hood that looked great and low and behold there was a set of your projectors installed. I talked with the guy a bit, he was eager to get back on the track though.

Just thought you might want to know.
