Only weird thing I noticed when I got my lights back was a rainbow effect on the lens, but after couple months 90% of it went away, only during certain times of the day at certain angles can you barely see it..

Damn this issue is still unresolved?!?!?!? I remember hearing about it a while ago. Mr. Zipps seems like a cool guy im sure everything will work its self out. My headlights turned out great and I think the main reason was b/c I let all the fumes air out and didn't put my lights back together until a week after I got them back from him. Cant wait to hear that exhaust I hear its nasty, good luck!

Well someone emailed me from his email telling me he was out of town and would be back the following week and that he would get back to me...but that was on the 14th of April. I hope he's ok as well.

I wouldn't worry DJSmitty. I sent mine to him and got them back within a couple of weeks. He did a really good job on the passenger side but the driver's side; the paint is starting to peel off on the inside of the housing. I sent him an email the day that I got them but he's never replied back. I'll try to get a hold of him again. I should still have his phone number as well. He's a really good guy who came through for me in a pinch. I think he's just got a lot of stuff going on.

I'll keep bumping this thread till I hear from them. My patience has run out and I'm really starting to get ****ing pissed.
Nick, no salad bar pics yet. Still debating whether I want to put it on or not.

I've been reading all of the responces, and this might sound cold hearted or however you want to put it, but there is no excuse for Mr Zipps not giving the OP any feedback, apparently he was told that Zipps is out of town, if so, you know for a fact the guy could get on a computer, any computer in the month's time that it has been. There are several ways of being able to use a computer, a library for example. So in my opinion, the only good excuse there can be is that Mr zipps is deathly ILL in the hospital somewhere. No other excuse would satisfy me if I were the OP(not saying I hope this guy is hurt somewhere), just saying.. I would think someone on this board full of people (at least ONE of you) is good close friends with Mr Zipps, not friends over the internet but friends that hang out in person a lot.
Can no one shed light on ANYTHING?
Horrible..
