    As mentioned in the other thread, I managed to get an OK to start a group buy to get us all a discount on the replacement headlights from Founders Parts.

    As a disclaimer, I am not a representative of this brand or associated with them. Just a current customer hoping to get a price break through a group buy :D Founders is not associated with the Ferrari brand and no Ferrari logos or trademarks will appear on these parts. These are aftermarket replacement parts.

    For those that did not catch the other thread, Founders Parts was started by the original founder of The Retrofit Source and Morimoto lighting (Lots of us are using the Morimoto tail lights already). So, there's quite a bit of expertise that has gone into these. More info can be found on their website including installation videos and detailed pictures for both the 360 and F430: https://www.foundersparts.com/

    There are essentially three options that will be part of this group buy:
    -360: Ready to paint unassembled headlights
    -360: Carbon fiber headlights
    -F430: Carbon fiber headlights

    All of these are complete light assemblies that are plug and play. There is no rebuilding, core exchange, modifying, etc. They simply replace your entire stock headlight assemblies and foggy lenses.

    Ok, now the good part. Depending on how many people we get interested in this, the price can get super good. Here's the quick breakdown...

    Retail
    360 Paint Ready: $2500
    360 Carbon: $4500
    F430 Carbon: $4500

    5-9 Buyers
    360 Paint Ready: $2250
    360 Carbon: $4000
    F430 Carbon: $4000

    10-20 Buyers
    360 Paint Ready: $2000
    360 Carbon: $3500
    F430 Carbon: $3500

    21+ Buyers
    360 Paint Ready: $2000
    360 Carbon: $3000
    F430 Carbon: $3000

    Instructions: To make this simple to track, copy only the list below, add your name to the list after the last person and repost. I'll keep this open for two weeks (or until we reach max goal) at which point we'll take tally and we will be given instructions on how to complete the purchase with the discounted rate. I will be posting this on the facebook groups as well to hopefully get us past the 21 number which will be a pretty sweet discount. I'll track those offline but update the numbers here.

    Crossing my fingers we can make the numbers. I know there a lot of guys here wanting to fix their foggy lenses or want a Scuderia style upgrade to their F430 (such as myself).

    Woohoo! We’ve passed the first threshold. There are at least 5 or so FB signups from yesterday but some are waiting for the top discount.

    Am I understanding this correctly that the amber signal is required by law if you don't have side markers in USA?

    The light has to be amber, the actual lens for it doesn't. So, while the lens may be clear, you are required to run an amber bulb.

    You can see in this picture of the 360 unit, the bulb is amber:

    With the extra from FB, we've unlocked the second tier! Feel free to spread the word so we can reach the max discount.

    Wow nice group buy. I notice that only the 360 paint ready does not get cheaper after 21+. Is that a typo?

    That is correct. I asked about that. The reason is that the margin is much lower with those even at volume so they can’t discount beyond that without giving them away.

    huge bargain at $2k though.

    Damn you, GP - I've lost track of how many times you've posted and I've got out my wallet! :)

    Am trying to hold back on this...

    But we're on the way to a high score! :D

    I have 6 on FB right now holding fast for the top tier. We have 9 confirmed here (so far). That leaves us with 6 more for max discount.

    Any thoughts from the peanut gallery on how carbon fiber might look on a 360 Blue Pozzi? I am torn between the carbon and ready to paint.

    I'm torn also. I'm thinking carbon because I think they'll look great and because of the less amount of hassle with painting and sealing. Add the fact that my original lights will be out and I can refurb them if it turns out I don't like the carbon.

    I think the Pozzi blue is dark enough that the carbon won't stand out and will seem like a nice touch. Might be different if it was a sharp contrast like yellow or silver, then the CF would definitely be noticeable and might not be to everyone's taste.
