Garage Woolery GV tail light rings...Round 2

[Mr.Woolery]

So there's been interest from people who want me to do another round of Garage Woolery tail light rings for the Garage Vary nostalgic tail light kit. Since there's been interest in me making at least 20 sets, I approached the shop that made the first run and asked for pricing on another run.

The good news is that he can do it. The bad news is that he deleted all the previous design files and threw away the custom jigs used for the original run. This means that there will be very little, if any, cost savings over the first run since we'll be "starting from scratch" and will have to resort to using my set as a template for the new run.

To prevent any of the issues we had with the original run due to the polishing process, I'm going to eliminate the polishing option/step with this new run and instead offer the rings in one of two finishes: machine finish or chrome plated (at additional cost, yet to be determined).


-Estimated price for the machine finish trim rings will be ~$250 per set +shipping

-GUESStimated price for the chrome plated finish trim rings will be ~$350 per set +shipping. This price may vary, as I have yet to get pricing from the chrome shop.

I will update this post with better pricing information as I find out more about the chrome plating costs.

If you are still interested in participating in this group buy, please add your full name, username, and desired finish for your trim rings to the list below. Once we get at least 20 people participating in the group buy, we'll start the payment process and production run of the rings.

Note to mods: As with the first run of trim rings, this is a not a for profit venture, and does not step on the any paying forum sponsors' toes. Thanks!

Oh yess! Gonna have a gorgeous backside to match your awesome front.

My unofficial count puts us at needing 3 more to meet our goal!

[imperfekt]

i'm assuming they won't be engraved "garage woolery" like yours are, mr woolery?

[Dandy]

Sad news for those interested in this unique offering:

Looks like it we won't have enough to get this going

C'mon lurkers, put a set on your holiday wish list! Maybe we can turn this around.

scroll up and look at Kim K's butt for inspiration . . . you know you want to . . .

Re: Garage Woolery GV tail light rings...Round 2
I really wouldn't mind offering my shop up to sell these. I don't need to make a single dollar or even ever be involved beyond a "retail outlet." I truly wouldn't want anything other than to help.

Just an offer.

I really want a pair, but things have come up. Mods for Betty have been put on hold.

In the light of current interest, and due to his ethical enthusiasm and support for the community, I want to make it publicly known that I've given exclusive rights to Adam (Revlimiter) to recreate my trim rings should he desire to do so. I believe he can make them just as well as my originals, with additional finishing options, and perhaps even at a better price point.


What's this now? :shock: They are coming back? :bow:

[Hammerhead]

Yay!! I need 2 sets!

[revlimiter]

Yes! The rings are coming back. Give me a bit and they'll be in stock. :) :) :)

[RustRat]

Nice! Now I need to get me a set of GV tail lights :)

[Hammerhead]

Yes! The rings are coming back. Give me a bit and they'll be in stock. :) :) :)

Take my money today, Adam!!

[Phatmiata]

Take my money today, Adam!!

I smell a pre-order :whistle:

[kitster]

Let me know when u want my money Adam [emoji1]

[revlimiter]

I always want money. =)

But probably in the 1-2 month timeline. Probably.

[Corifto]

Is this something you'll keep in stock, or am I going to want to order them now and hope to find a panel later?

[Phatmiata]

I'm guessing you'll want to get in as these are gonna take time to make.

[RustRat]

Are there any photos installed of the two variations?

[revlimiter]

Two variations? I'm not sure what you mean. I thought all of these were the same.

[Martin]

I see two finishes in the list in post #28 above - machined and chrome.

[RustRat]

I see two finishes in the list in post #28 above - machined and chrome.
Yeah, that's what I meant

[Phatmiata]

I think they originally talked about doing the sets in the standard Machine Finish, with addition of Chrome and anodized or powder coat for the 2nd group buy, however that never happened.

[revlimiter]

I somehow managed to not see that. I believe these will only be in machined finish. That was my plan anyway.

Since the 2nd batch was never made by Woolery, there's never been any finish but machined to photograph.

[TNRooster3]

Is estimated price still at $250?

[revlimiter]

The price should be a good bit lower. Under $200 for sure.

[Phatmiata]

Might want to start a NEW thread so that "lurkers" are not sending PMs to Woolery (the thread starter)

maybe move the list of names onto the pre-order thread as well.

[Hammerhead]

Two variations? I'm not sure what you mean. I thought all of these were the same.

I'm guessing he means the version for the NA and the NB.

[Phatmiata]

I'm guessing he means the version for the NA and the NB.

it was for 2 finishes, but that deal fell through, so they will all be machined finished according to Adam

[Cermivelli]

Machined finish is fine by me! As long as I can get my hands on these! :)
Thank you Adam!!!

[John J]

The rings should be a welcome addition to everyone who has the Vary rear panel modification.

[OBD1 kenobi]

Well, to make things even more interesting REV9 just posted on facebook the whole GV tail conversion with LED lights for $699.00. Man, I feel like the Godfather "...they keep pulling me in" :-)

[Demon I Am]

Buy an NB and you won't be tempted with so many sexy things.

[OBD1 kenobi]

Good thought Demon. lol!

[RustRat]

Uhm...
http://rev9autosport.com/garage-vary-tail-lights-3376.html

And if I am not mistaken, these rings will fit in these, too.

[OBD1 kenobi]

I think they would but Im not sure. Maybe someone can clarify it for us.

[Phatmiata]

So now the question is how do the guys from the previous GroupBuy upgrade to this LED set up? Max can you please offer something for us?

I've now copy pasted this in REV9 thread so Max can chime in

I have both a NA and a NB and I'm still tempted!!!

[roadsternut]

That LED light looks terrible. Its supposed to be a Garage Vary Nostalgic tail, not a Jetson edition.

[imperfekt]

still waiting for this to happen... do we have enough people on board yet??? :'(

[Cermivelli]

Adam (Revlimiter) will produce these soon!

[Bruce]

Adam (Revlimiter) will produce these soon!

Produce what soon? The tail light rings?

[Phatmiata]

Yes Revlimiter got the design rights from Garage Woolery.

[Ihatecars]

Hot damn. This is actually really exciting. I've wanted a set for a long time now.

[revlimiter]

This isn't a group buy anymore. It will be a regular item I have in the store. This thread is mostly meaningless now.

Give me a few months please.

[Phatmiata]

can we start a new Revlimiter Dream Works thread LOL

[RustRat]

Yeah guys, chill, give Adam some months to perfect the design, and give me some months also to buy my own set of GV tail lights. [emoji14]

Damn you PayPal!

[Phatmiata]

I picture a bunch of kids at the dinner table with forks and spoons in their hands pounding on the table, but instead of "we want food" its "we want parts"

[revlimiter]

give Adam some months to perfect the design,

I spent a few weeks thinking about this. I considered changing the design somewhat to possibly make the rings a bit deeper or a little thinner or something-er. Then I realized that they were not MY product. The rings are Mr. Woolery's design and he allowed me to reproduce them. So, that's what I'll be doing. They'll be exactly like the originals with no changes.

But parts take time to make.

[Phatmiata]

Awe dang, I guess I have to make my own AWD style ring?
