Screw Recon!
I got my order confirmation and they had the shipper and the address listed wrong.
When I ordered, I requested that they use UPS only. I even offered to pay extra for UPS.
The thing is that UPS has a presence here in Mexico rather than the other companies (fed-ex, dhl etc) that contract out to "locals" to do the final delivery. This makes a big difference in customs duties and lots of times the difference if the item will get delivered at all.
Anyway, when I called them back:pp: to re-confirm the address and the shipper I spoke with a man that could only be described as having a "bunch of attitude".:Sumo:
He grumbled around and stated that "UPS is not the only company to ship to Mexico". He stated that their way was the only way the items would be shipped.:bs:
I told him that if they could not ship to the agreed address by the agreed to carrier I would have to cancel the order. He hung up on me...
Five minutes later, my Crackberry went off. I had an e-mail from their supervisor stating that he could ship UPS if I needed it.
I called him back and in speakinng to him, re-instated the order. He stated at this time that the items would not ship until the following Monday. (12 march)
As of 26 March, I still had not gotten any order confirmation. Sent them an e-mail stating that I was going out of the country and if the order had not been shipped, please cancel.
No word back... :Moon:Recon.

You can always get your stockers blacked out... Then you don't have to worry about blinking, questionable build quality or shipping...

I wouldn't VHT lights, I'd get them "professionally" painted with clearcoat mixed with a bit of black automotive paint. To get the darkness you want from VHT, you'll sacrifice light output. There won't be much light output interfered with if you use the clearcoat/automotive paint way versus the VHT way.

Hmm.. never seen it done like that before. But hey... I live in the low-rider capital of the world. :gayflag:

My tails were professionally done like SIK mentioned. I don't have the painting skills... Like he said, they do pass quite a lot of light...
