Just got off the phone with Ray@SPYDER and confirmed that he was waiting for everyone on the list to respond before shooting out emails. He's going to start sending off response emails today to everyone who's already sent emails to him with the assumption that everyone will eventually hit him up and we'll hit the 26 one way or another (with original list or with standby).

He told me to let you all know if you sent him an email, but don't hear back from him by tomorrow, send him a follow up email in case he missed you.

I heard some people did. Not sure if he had time to hit up everyone before he left friday, but will probably hit up the rest monday. Doesn't hurt to send him a follow up email though in case you fell through the crack.

I'll give Ray a call again and check up with him, but I know we still have 4 MIA people. I'm going to have those on the waiting list also contact Ray so we can get the numbers.

^ hah im thinking this as well. With $$$ just waiting to be made, doesnt take much time to reply to 26 emails to say "THANKS! I got your confirmation we will contact you next week when everyone responds"

but giving ray the benefit of the doubt. Im sure hes just been busy and will get back to us soon.

Didn't have time to call him yesterday, but I'll do so today. Ray's a pretty standup guy when I met up with him, so I'm guessing he's just slammed as SPYDER deals with a ton of other makes and models. so we're not the only ones he gets busy with.

If there's $8k of inbound revenue on this GB (assuming 26x $305), then I would hope that the supplier would be a little more responsive.[/QUOTE]

Could not agree more. Just a simple response to all that have been patiently waiting would be appreciated.

ok, finally got in touch with Ray. He has compiled everyone's email and composed an email that he will be sending out to everyone today. Looks like he's been delaying because he's been trying to get an ETA from the factory with regards to the retrofit status, which he'll explain in his email. Also, none of these are currently floating around on the market as this group buy will be the first to get it once retrofit has been completed. This includes the Amazon link, nothing would ship out till after the GB orders have been fulfilled.

Hey Mike,

Is it possible to see a few snapshots of the new projector lens after Spyder does a test fit on your vehicle?

emain from ray goes as follows..

Hi,

Thank you for sending me your information via email. I will held your information until the item is ready to ship. However, we are currently waiting on the new W204 headlight with upgraded projector lens. Up on arrival, we will do a quick test fit on Michael’s W204 and release the product as soon as the test fit is done. The ETA on the product will be anywhere from 4-8 weeks. Sorry for the delay, but I will promise that W204 forum will be the first batch to have this product.

Feel free to email me if you have any question or concern. I will email / call you as soon as the product is ready and update with Michael in the forum as well. Thanks for understanding.

Best Regard,

Ray
