Founders Replacement Headlight Group Buy

me too!

 

I got a tracking number, but so far only “label created”…

Holy cow! Is in The Peach State right now and expected in my hands Friday morning - woooot!

Kevin

 

I guess they are shipping in batches. Does anyone have an idea of when the rest will all be shipped? My car is due in on Saturday for some work, and I would love to have the new lights swapped in at the same time; otherwise, I may not get to do this until September.

 

CNJ - I thought we were having a wife swapping... er... I mean a HEADLIGHT SWAPPING party at your place?

Kevin

 

Yes, but it would have to wait till September. This is a crazy summer as my youngest heads off to college. So, not a lot of spare time till he leaves. Even if I get my headlights swapped out earlier, I would still love to host a BBQ/Headlight swap at my house when I can. Having a home lift makes so many things more comfortable.

 

Got an update from Founders - they are shipping based on the date orders were received, with the goal of having all “group buy” orders out by the end of the month.

 

Their customer service has been excellent. Having a time getting the smaller lights off to get it to the paint shop - they've been fantastic walking me through it

 

I'm interested - but the only product I found is this one: Ferrari F430 (05-10) Headlight Covers - which doesn't have a good review...

Any other options?!

Kevin

 

I am a DIY kinda guy, but in my experience/opinion, applying PPF is a bit of an art form and requires some experience to get it perfect. I’ll be dropping mine off at local reputable shop. They quoted $200, to do before or after they are installed on the car, all the same.

 

I went with XPEL from https://www.luxeautoconcepts.net/products/p-2006-ferrari-f430-headlight-kit. It was significantly cheaper when I bought it in March

 

How was the fit?

And what "shade" did you go with? I'm slowly carbonizing my car and leaning towards some amount of "smoke"....

Kevin

 

I went with clear. Not sure about fit yet… my headlights just shipped

 

Arrived and in hand - neener neener!

Kevin

 

Well, my car going in for work has been delayed a few weeks, so maybe there is a chance I can have the new headlights PPF'd when they arrive and installed when the other work is done on the car.

 

For the guys getting the paint ready headlights, was the original paint damaged?
Most of the headlights I see that are in bad shape just seem need new lenses, the paint underneath appears to be okay.
buying just the new headlight lens replacements was not an option?

Got my lenses for $400 shipped to the US. Took a week for shipping.
