Think about what you just said. Letting WORK getting in the way of MAKING MONEY. He makes a shit ton of money where he is, and if you were to take into account how much money he's making per hour by making a set of these, its garbage compared to what he makes in his real job.
Priorities are priorities, and as much as it may suck to hear, his are in the right places.

Also, Alero owners generally don't have a lot of money, so why would he give up a consistent job to make these? If I remember right, it took a month to get 5 people in for this group buy. Giving up consistent work to do these sets would be unintelligent.

Yeah Nick was the only one who got a set of tails, and no one has gotten a refund yet. The last progress update was a few pages back I think. And if you want to buy my spot shoot me a PM.

Ian 2000GL LA1 · 10-10-2009, 10:14 AM

mabe but i want to hear some more updates.

bkathsalero · 10-10-2009, 10:24 AM

Wow that sucks, so only one person has still gotten their tails.

DansGen1Alero · 10-10-2009, 10:48 AM

Yes, only one person got their tails, and updates are slow. The problem being that in order to have made the process better, back when this started, Bryce needed cores in order to start. No one could send in cores which prolonged the process. Out of all the Alero owners, only 5 at the time wanted tails. Bryce wouldn't be able to make a living making tails. The demand just isn't there. The same reason they were never mass produced. I contacted APC a while ago after word got out that they were making them for the Grand Am. They told me that it would not be beneficial due to the cost just to create the means to mass produce. They would have never got that money back, had they mass produced, the demand for the Grand Am was MUCH higher. What others may not understand, is something handcrafted one by one may take a long time. Paitence is a virtue, and yes it has been a very long time, but it boils down to how bad you want something.

Now last update, was that Bryce was looking for some cores, and if anyone can send theirs in it would speed up the process. I was at the bottom of the list because i was last to pitch in my deposit.

Now I sent him an IM and waiting for his response, if I see him online, I will try again, but I myself am a busy man, and that is why I havent been around for a long time. Just stop by here and there to check on any status. I gave my information above if anyone wants to contact me directly, or if they have a message I can try to relay, but again Bryce left his screename on MSN (the easiest way to get a hold of him)

If anyone has cores to send in, I have his address they can be sent to.

Shit bout to goto junk yard find some tails make a mold and make some of these wow. A once trusted aleromoder is total shit now. Hell how hard is it to go ahead and make all the clear lenses? Hmm there's an idea then get your cores put the LEDs in seal the lense and your done.

Atmosphere · 10-10-2009, 04:00 PM

I'm actually in the process of making a new set, already have a set of cores with the lenses removed, now it's just a matter of painting, mounting the LEDs, and sealing them up. I'm still trying to get help with the lexan, though. Overall I think Wrightie does the best work (the seals on Bryce's are terrible), but he isn't responding to any of my messages.

NickAlero2000 · 10-10-2009, 04:43 PM

I still need to send in my cores. I have tried a bunch of times, and he hasn't responded to me on messenger. Last time I sent them, they got sent back, he never claimed them at the post office. I want to make sure he's back, so I can be 100% the lights will be in the right place. If someone manages to get in touch with him, please let me know via PM (I still lurk around here) and I'll get back on messenger and be sure to ship them out.
Like I said, I'm just waiting on his word.

Good luck with that, I would leave it to someone that knows what they are doing.

Wrightie (according to another thread) is selling or sold his molds and extra tails he had. I would assume he isn't making them anymore.

Atmosphere · 10-10-2009, 10:08 PM

^ I know, but I spoke to him before and he said it might be possible to collaborate. That was the last I heard from him.

pimpalero2003 · 10-10-2009, 10:34 PM

Hmm wrap a taillight in foil tape like better then foil make sure no wrinkles cover in deordent lay gelcoat and then lay 3 layers of glass let cure scuff layanother 2 done. Sand inside of mold to make sure perfectly smooth. Wax it heat up lexan in oven at 350 till it's soft lay in mold. Let it harden then trim and secure and seal onto taillight.

Oh and break the lense.
LEDs Even easier

Atmosphere · 10-10-2009, 10:43 PM

Where should I go about obtaining sheets of lexan with the correct specifications?
