these wont be out for another 4 months probably =(

[ihyln]

I think in 4 months there will be other competitors to choose from. Would have been nice to get it sooner though.

[MolanM3]

don't guess too much; only time will tell.

i spoke to duke directly yesterday and he told me that by next week he will know a exact date and he sed the price will be in the 300 to 350 range but that was an estimate.

Hopefully we'll see these in late August, but with DD, anything is possible.

300-350? No thanks, sorry to say but thats going to turn alot of people off.

Shelling out hundreds of dollars to have a few rings brighter doesnt make sense to me.

The LEDs seem to look pretty good but when the GP thunder is priced at less than 1/10th of the price, it will be very hard to shell out that much more dough.

No disrespect but...



I'll stick with the $20 GP Thunders

[x-noize]

i think 150 would be reasonable but still pushing it..

[Blistex]

by looking at the photos and the heatsinks it's one master piece if you compare with other markers.

I was told the development cost was very expensive; especially the LEDs cost and the CNC heatsink; and other small computer chips that control the LEDs.

I would love to see more update photos from DD's; if they can compare the GT thunder side by side. I'm sure a lot of you will change your minds.

[ihyln]

Blistex, have you seen the GP Thunder 7500k in the daylight compared to DD? There's a noticeable but not a $300 difference. Even at $150 it's pushing it. Sure it might be worth $300 but when there are sub $50 alternatives that are pretty damn close it's hard to justify it.

[Kev]

Saw the GP Thunders 7.5k and 8k in direct sunlight. They look as invisible as my PIAA LEDs, but with a yellow hue. Let's face it, it's a halogen bulb, no matter how much coating there is on the bulb, it's bound to show some yellow in direct sun light.

300 bucks? no thanks. i understand the level of development that went into this but i can still point out areas where it's not *perfect*

if these were the best rings on an e92 anyone has ever seen or will see MAYBE $300 is reasonable, but for marginally better rings than the $20 gp's...that's tough. i think people learned their lesson with piaa...spend your $300 on an lip.

[Former_Boosted_IS]

Pass for me too on $300.

[MarinoB]

id take the leap for $300. I think they look perfect, maybe not 20 x's better then GP's based on the price but to have 2 fully bright white rings during the daytime I'd do it.

I have not seem the GT vs DD yet.

As Kev said Stock are brighter than GT: DD is brighter than Stock. You make the calls
Halogen bulb cannot produces the same color or lumen as the LEDs.

Remember the old days we had to paid about $250-$300 for a CCFL angel eyes rings for the our E46?

I guess if we want to play we have to pay.

[Kloogy]

I would like to know what the big deal is about the GP Thunders. They look like complete ass. They are every bit as shitty looking as their price tag reflects. I have had them. How you guys can compare those to what these guys are showing in the pictures is beyond me. I think some of you are legally blind.

Blame BMW for abandoning the good engineering done in the E90 headlights.....
