[DeTomaso] Beyond Last Call - LEDs

[John Taphorn]

Our LEDs arrived and while we were assembling the Kits, we recognized a few 
LEDs were missing.  This will require us to submit an additional order.  We 
sold 26 kits and already had two on the waiting list.  If you would like me 
to build a kit for you, let me know.  I apologize for the rush, but, you 
will need to move fast.

I intend to place our order by this Friday. Details below

Thanks
JT

> The fourth generation exterior Space City LEDs are now available for your 
> Pantera.  Our previous generation LED kits were assembled in 2009.  I 
> contacted our vendors to let them know that we were piecing additional 
> kits and inquired as to whether their had been meaningful advances in LED 
> technology over the last two years.  The response was a resounding "YES" 
> and Space City ordered several new LED designs to test them in our 
> favorite car.  The result is that we are impressed with a couple of the 
> new style LEDs we tested.  Of course, an advantage to any LED is that 
> they're at least as bright as the incandescent bulbs, require minimal 
> current from the electrical system and generate no heat to discolor or 
> damage your lenses over time.

> The new LEDs that we selected to fit the blinker and brakelight do a 
> better job filling those housings with light, and therefore, the LEDs take 
> full advantage of the housing's reflective surfaces.  The rear back-up 
> light is brighter than the incandescent as well.  These taillights with 
> these new LEDs do not lose brightness as one walks off center to the side. 
> Another advantage that we like is that the new LED styled brakelight fits 
> the housing cleanly with out brackets or deformation of the housing.  Of 
> course, there is a drawback - cost.  The new LEDs are significantly more 
> expensive requiring a price increase.

> Our fourth generation Space City LED Kit costs $240.  The kit includes the 
> LED flasher, diode & pigtail wiring to ensure turn indicator light 
> operates, front and rear blinkers, side marker lamps, brakelights and 
> back-up lights.  A GT5s kit is also available and adds the white LEDs for 
> the shared front blinker housing; the GT5s kit is $285.
>
> We will also offer an upgrade kit for current owners of a Space City LED 
> kit who would like to upgrade to latest LED technology.  This kit will 
> include the new front and rear blinkers, brake lights and back-up bulbs. 
> Price $190
>
> In addition, we will also offer the Space City Taillight kit.  This kit 
> offers the rear brake lights and rear blinker only for $130.  A new 
> flasher is not necessary if incandescent bulbs remain in the front blinker 
> housings.

> Delivery in Reno is free at the Rally, else $5 to the US and actual cost 
> outside the continental US.  If you choose to pay via PayPal, add $6.50 
> for PayPal fee.
