y cant the outter ring be a full circle like the inner ring? I think it looks so stupid not having the ring connect at the top. Your work is amazing though, the cf on the shroud is brilliant. Im just not a fan of the outter ring. Didn't BavX fix this issue?

If they are both the same size then the one towards the rear looks much smaller and it looks much weirder.
These LED rings don't seem to be that bright. Is the camera playing tricks or what?

Right... I was saying that if you use the same size ring on the inner and outer it gives the appearance of the outer ring being smaller (because it is further away from the spectator).
They definitely look much brighter in those pics! Is this the same ring OSS uses? Can you PM me a quote for a prelci e90? Oh, and why does it always look like there is an LED out at the top of the middle rings? This isn't specific to your kit but to all LED ring kits.

In regards to the gap at the top of the LED ring. The design of these rings is not much more than a simple printed circuit board shaped like a circle and has a bunch of LED's soldered onto it. The gap is nothing more than just the junction of the two ends. It is also where the wires that power up the circuit are located. Another thing to keep in mind is that the gap is only visible in pictures, that can magnify the spaces between all the LED's, and from really close up in person. Otherwise, the brightness of the LED's fills in the gaps very effectively and is hardly noticeable. |

Im sorry but, currently, we are not doing the E90 platform due to the fact that they are Perma-Sealed. The only way to open an E90 is to cut them open and reseal using epoxy and sealants. Unfortunately, because of the high probability of condensation occuring, we can not stand behind that type of modification and therefore chose not to take on that platform. We are terribly sorry for any inconvenience.

Estimate
How much for the Blackout with Blackout ACM Rings and CF Stripes on Shroud?
I'm in MD but willing to make the drive. How long does this take to get done?
