    what details are you referring to?

    Looks like they have officially added the NOS cases to the catalog.

    Looks like the SWB indicator & tail lights are going to be very nice!

    The next couple of days will tell, I should have my rear set by Tuesday.

    BTW, here's a link to being able to purchase them "reasonably" without having to pay the price of the usual suspects. Yes, a couple of weeks to wait, but saving serious $$.

    List is $854, Monmouth Porsche is $614, and one of the usual suppliers is $948.

    Thanks for the info. $1250 sure sounds better than almost $2000.

    I received my Euro rear assemblies today. Very nice box, it will help with shipping imho.

    I think the first thing that disappointed me is that there no bulb holders... I called out Marin Porsche on this and they told me they don't come with them, you have to buy them separately.

    You also don't get screws or seals.... Which I understand to a lesser degree.

    But, if you find an NOS one, or bought them new when they were available you got the bulb holders, screws and seals.

    The assemblies themselves are very nice. I haven't taken them out of the final plastic bag yet, as I'm not sure if I'm going to keep them. The lettering is "ok", I compared to an original and I think they compare well.

    Just seems odd to me as they talk about the bulb holders in the Originale 6 article like it was a part of the assembly. So, maybe my dealer stripped them out to sell them separately? JP has fronts coming soon from a different dealership, maybe his will come with bulb holders.

    Incorrect tooling marks on the backs of the housings.

    Hey Brad, do yours come with bulb holders?

    If you don't want to keep them, Eric, send them to me. Happy to pay you for them and take some close-up, side-by-side photos for everyone to compare.

    My Euro fronts are arriving Friday. I'll take photos when they get here.
