Cool...looking forward to seeing what they look like!

Ugh. Sorry guys. All of the pipes in this shipment are defective. More info as it develops.

Hopefully we can work it out this week still. My salesperson is at the factory this week, so, there is a silver lining.

Eh...I'm sure they'll get it right.

I'm excited to see how they turn out. I have a lot of guys here in SA that want to get it done. I'm just waiting on the right light pipes. Sure these are going to do the trick!

I wanted to use a small piece of this to see if it'll fix the gap in my ABL mod, on the left side of my steering wheel. The light pipes I'm using are too thick and rigid for the molding to sit flush over it and I don't want to have to do any sanding or cutting. I just don't need 40" though. Anyone want to send me a small piece that you can't use when you're done with whatever it is you're trying to do, lol? Unless, I haven't measured, is 40" enough to replace the pipes I'm currently using? Passenger window to steering wheel, steering wheel to driver window. I'm imagining it's more.

40" is enough for the entire dash allowing for a bit of slop when cutting them down.

Update: I just had a "forest for the trees" moment. These may be a new design that would help the dimming towards the middle. The problem is that they can't be cut down keeping this "feature" intact. More later.

A little confused. Am I understanding this correctly? If I ordered the flexible one, I can't cut it? So it won't help my small section problem buy I could use it for the large section?

sjmautoprod · 12-06-2011, 09:55 AM

We are still trying to figure this out and have not heard back from the factory yet, so, these are just my impressions.

If they can't be cut down, we just need to nail down the sizes.

Not trying to thread jack, just want to help out.

I will be removing my tyco light pipe so I can cut you a piece of that if you'd like.

Oh thanks. I have a light pipe there already. Its just too thick. I don't know what the difference is in the tyco pipe though. It'll sit in there and let the molding fit in properly?

The Stig · 12-06-2011, 12:46 PM

The tyco pipe has a ridge on the back to help reflect light.
