Hey!
So this topic has been discussed a million times already but I am very near from a solution. We all know the NC tail lights don't have the best design and that we would like something more appealing but also more efficient in terms of performance, design and safety.
Now I discussed with many suppliers for this project as it's a difficult and time consuming one. Moreover, the tooling fee being extremely high, there is no room for mistake. This first project is for NC2/3 only but if it goes as planned, we will do the NC1 molds shortly after.
INSTALLATION:
We basically want to offer a complete plug and play replacement. You will need to remove your tail lights and fit ours. No core exchange or anything like that. They will come pre-wired and with connectors.
DESIGN:
This is the most important step. The design has to be appealing and modern for most of people. This is the design we think is the nicer and would go well with the NC lines. This is a rendering of the LED locations.

And to give you an idea of the finished product, it would look like those pictures:

PRICING AND DISCOUNT:
We would like to offer this set at 485 USD/pair + shipping (around 40-50 USD for worldwide shipping) for people who can place a deposit now and help us in this project. Later on, they will be retailed at 600 USD a set + shipping.
FEASABILITY OF THE PROJECT:
So I will attach a poll to this thread and please try to answer as honestly as possible. It would help a lot in the decision making process. The best would be to get deposit from the most people but I know it's also not easy to commit to a product you didn't see in the flesh.
We basically would need a 50% deposit from you guys which is 250 USD and if we reach a convincing amount, we would start immediately. The delivery time would be around 3 months.
Thank you for reading! Please don't hesitate to answer with any suggestions/ideas.
