Those are the combat offroads tail gunner lights. I have those on my gladiator at the moment.

Finished prototype 1. Will test it for a few weeks and see how it holds up.

I think they came out great.

Those look killer! I can't wait to hear how the testing goes. Have you had any issues with code errors? Im sure the JSCAN or Tazer will prevent any problems.

So when should we start the waiting list? ;)

I need to look into this. At the moment, it says my turn signals are out.

I'm sure I'll be able to fix it.

I'd rather have it where no one has to use jscan or tazer to fix the problem.

Love them............I need some now LOL
So I have went crazy orderings printers lately. I have 3 more coming this week.

What I think I will end up offering are 3d printed versions that are printed in carbon fiber filament.

The carbon fiber filament leaves a matte finish but with a manufactured look to it. Can't see layer lines.

From here people can either rock it how they are, or sand and paint.

The carbon fiber filament leaves a surface look like ceracoat. I'll take pictures when I get home from work and post them.

My biggest problem is imperfections in prints. Hopefully I can resolve this.

I can handle minor imperfections......if you're a perfectionist like me; I'm sure these small things are going to be unseen to the average person.

I'm sure some good filler primer and a couple coats of base coat and sanding will look mint.
