Take advantage now and buy yourself an early Christmas present! You deserve it.

Woohoo.

Gonna pick myself up a clear lens, and a couple of gel filters, I think!

If I order a clear gel (consisting of, I believe, a clear lens and one gel), do I need to still buy another three filters, or can I just buy a couple - your minimum order of four filters doesn't say whether this is for all orders or just for orders consisting only of filters.

Wish I could afford the full set - that'd be a nice selection!

Cheers,

A.

Having said that, the clear lens is $10 on its own from the lenses page, but a clear lens and gel is $25 from the gels page - so I guess I'll buy a lens from the lens page and some gels on their own!

I left it that way because people don't realise that Smoke Gels and Clear Gels are permanently mounted. If you want to be able to change them you have to order it the way you said. (Lenses from the Lens page and Gel Filters from the Gel page)

On the amount of Filters. I'm not holding people to that but ones that do order at least 4 get preference in the order lineup since I have to cut them by hand.

Steve, I have just added some money to my paypal account to get a lens and you know how long that takes, so how long are you going to have them on sale ?

Apparently Bellsouths webservers for the homepages are down. I suggest trying it later.

Still down (or maybe I didn't look careful at the time of your post and that's not shocking)

Out of curiousity, what are the prices? Someone else mentioned $10 for clear, how much are the smoke?

I still haven't made up my mind yet.
Suffice it to say at the least until Wednesday Midnight (which is tomorrow night) and longest until Monday Midnight (which is Sunday night).
Oh. That's GMT-5 by the way for people that don't realise where I am.

Gel filters are heat-resistant plastic sheets which Darkstorm cuts to fit behind the smoked or clear lenses. They come in a variety of colors and allow you to change the color of your display while keeping the smoked/clear lens. All of my displays in my truck are smoked lenses with teal-like displays. I was able to capture this same effect with my empeg using the gel inserts. They are awesome.

Well. The rush was decent enough to warrant another day for the sale.

Get 'em while you can!

oh man I'm so hosed

I tried to update my expiration date on my credit card with paypal and it decided instead to block my card altogether... then I decided that I was sick of this card anyway so I applied for a paypal visa and when I was accepted I made the mistake of reading the terms and conditions which wound up making me lose the "agree" button so I can't get the card anymore and they won't let me apply again.

My PayPal account is broken... my RioCar is broken, and I can't get a shnazzy smoke lens... what else is gonna go wrong?

OK. I've decided to let it run to the end of the week.
Saturday morning 6AM GMT-5 or until they run out which they are damn close to doing now.

Do you send an email when you ship? I pay paled the money on the 2nd, and got the paypal receipt. I just wanna make sure if I don't see one in my mail in 2 weeks that I don't email you and find out I'm out $20 and you have no smoke lenses left.

Greetings!

I also ordered a few extra, just in case. Steve is really good with shipping, so I would not worry about that.

No one needs to worry. I'm not discontinuing the Smoke or Clear Lenses and no ones order will go unfilled.

I am running behind at the moment but everyones order will get sent out before weekends end.

Each person receives a confirmation email when their order is ready to go out Priority Mail the next morning.

Hang tight, It's coming!

OK the Smoke lenses are out of stock but I left the site still able to place orders for them.
So if you still want to get them at the sale price go ahead and order. They'll be backordered and when I get more material and another few batches made up your order will go out.
This is only for the course of the sale. I will change the site back to not being able to order when I end the sale.

Well. I haven't made up my mind when to end it. So I am still letting the sale run for now for anyone that still wants the sale price.
Call it Christmas spirit I guess.
Remember anyone ordering Smoke or Smoke Gels after the 5th is on backorder till I can get more batches made up, which isn't easy right now since my shop is absolutely swamped with work. Even so, as long as the sale price is on my site you will still get them for that price.

Happy Holidays!
Steve

I am still in the Christmas spirit at the moment so the sale continues. For now.....

I also have quite a few seconds of Smoke lenses that I will let go for $10 ea. + S&H ($4.50 US, $5.50 Int) They are still usable since you can't see the problems with them when they are installed. There are quite a few so if you want one go ahead and Paypal to drkstorm@bellsouth.net for how many you want plus S&H. Make sure to include your address and how many you want in the message area. If I end up running out before I get home (like that'll happen) Your order will be refunded.

I am also still feeling out for how much interest there is for the vinyl mask to do the Magic Marker Mod. So far only 2 people seem interested in it. If you are you need to email me and tell me so. My address is the same that you Paypal to. You can also find contact info on my site and in my profile.
