I sent everyone who did not have a payment status next to their name a reminder last night, but it looks like the response was dismal.....

A true shame. I talked to one of the guys who purchased a set and he said the quality was "really really good". Oh well, if we don't get the group buy I will still buy 2 sets, might just take me a bit longer.

all is not lost...maybe they will honor those who are participating by the end of today?
I would prefer if they did just that.
If they extended the offer, I'll mail back the checks I received and let those forward to AA if they choose to wait.

AA reached 28 sets paid for....and they "will" honor the deal.
I'll send checks sent to me first thing Monday morning.
They will start to ship orders this Thursday, July 21

rmital - My car is still in the rebuild phase, but I'll post a picture of them installed on the tail light buckets off the car to show how they fit.
I'll get a picture tomorrow after I get off work at 5, should be able to post a picture later in the night.
Someone with a more complete car will have to provide a picture of the fit actually installed on the car.

914 rubber has a group buy going on them now. AA is selling them now for 149 to club members..
dr914@autoatlanta.com
Sep 5 2017, 11:45 AM
yes 149.50 for 914 club members, we have at least 500 sets in stock, as we had to make that many to cover the expensive tooling costs, have them in the euro and the usa versions.
These were glued originally by Hella being made in segments, so we made them the same way for the sake of originality. Brutus the Porsche 916 is wearing a set, so we know that the quality and look will pass the highest concours muster.

We have the euro lenses! Over 500 sets in stock. I never know what possesses me to make so many of one part! Probably never sell all of these in the next ten years!

I have a habit of never thinking about the return on costs when making parts we need for our 914s. The per piece cost is ok, but the tooling is crazy. So then I figure that If I make a thousand lenses the per piece cost including the tooling is ok, so sign up for that. What I forget to calculate is how long it will (if ever) to sell all of those lenses.
For example, I still have over 500 1.7 muffler brackets I make about 20 years ago!!!!! (anyone need one?)
