Congrats on the success man, lotta late nights in the past where I remember you talking about your goals. Gotta love the tire kicking know it all types that think they can do everything better or know better, F’ em. If it was easy everyone would be doing it.
Yeah, it's been a ride, much of which you were along for. Its come with its ups and downs, many downs...but...just gotta keep on truckin. It's all a success until it isn't...just gotta hope you can keep riding the wave and making the right choices. If not...ya start over I guess, and try again...lol. I'll keep pushin toward the goals and achieving them, or I'll die tryin I guess. 2023 checked a box that's hard to check; but I still got more in the tank so, we'll see.
My experience with Damian has been the best experience I have ever had with a business hands down. Had an issue installing my lights and literally he called me on the phone and walked me through my issue. Was on pre buy for bezels and sold the car. Sent him an email saying I sold the car and was refunded within hours.
I appreciate your support and certainly appreciate you still watching the vids despite moving on to other things. If you're back in a Corvette again, hopefully we'll still be here with even more to offer.
Thank you for being such a transparent small businessman. Your products are really great for Corvette hobbyists like me. I'm waiting patiently for the delivery of my round light headlight bezels. I know I will be delighted when I receive them. I also look forward to buying more of your cool C5 products in the future.
Thanks for the update video on future of the business. Big fan of the products for the C5 and C6. I personally like the updates via the tube and FB. Look forward to future items.
I'm very happy with my C6 MAX-DIN and the way you deal with customers. I am very interested in getting more involved with your limited-access stuff. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate your support and glad you enjoy the unit. They have been VERY demanding of time and energy but the product will continually get better, with updates ahead this year, and add ons I'm working on. Just the beginning I think.
You're doing a great job with your products and for the Corvette enthusiasts. Patiently waiting for the C5 MaxDin. It will definitely make the car more enjoyable and modern. Would definitely pre-buy one.
Glad to hear you hit the revenue milestone this past year. There were times I was a little skeptical that it would work out without someone going crazy. Too many sleepless nights with suppliers I'm sure. I think it's very smart to run as lean as possible in the current economy. It's easy to scale up rather than go back down, especially when customers come and go based on disposible income. I look forward to see what 2024 brings and possibly picking myself up a set of headlights and bezels in the future.
Honestly I didn’t get into your channel or business til I bought a corvette myself, I’ve always known about your lights and everything prior but now I’ve dug a lot more into everything and I definitely enjoy your content and what y’all do! No one should be upset over your numbers it’s great you’re able to do something you hopefully love and make a living off it! I sadly missed the chance to get the founders coin but I hope to get some in the future and grow with y’all!
It's a tough one but we have a good foundation to build on from here. I work first and foremost for the accomplishment and the pride of making products...the money is just a byproduct. We all have to make a living, but the ride, win or lose, is truly what I enjoy most.
Thanks for the update. I’m looking forward to getting the bezels. A question I do have, will the C5 max din have a DAB/FM receiver for us over in Europe ?
You already know where I stand. I'm in for damn near anything upcoming and excited to be a part of it. Helping with the groups is one small part, and I'm stoked for my bezels.
Thanks for the updates as always, I watch every video. Absolutely love the headlights, I've been running them for about 2 years now. One of my favorite upgrades toy C5, and I get lots of people asking about them. I'm looking forward to the bezels when they're ready and whatever else you have cooking. Cheers!
It’s pretty funny how jealousy will drive people to say things they would normally never say to anybody, but you will have the few. I’ve been watching you for a while and at first I was kind of skeptical of your business planned, and if you were going to succeed, but along the way, I’ve seen your dedication, and you proven that effort makes a business.I’ve ran a few businesses myself, and I know where you come from with a customer base, growing every year. Always remember you’re only as good as you present your business. Negativity of a business owner always sinks the ship. keep your head high, but not high enough to wear you drown through your nostril lol. In it for the long run
Yeah, I try to keep my eye on the ball. Limits are required though, at some stage. I purge out the problem people to keep the community sound, and I'll do that as long as I can. Lucky for me, my entire life I've been surrounded by people that doubted me (mostly in my own family), so it's something that I've used to motivate me, always. Inevitably though, this business like any other, can disappear in an instant. Just gotta do the best I can, for as long as I can, until it's over.
Honestly, I’ve always seen your products but haven’t kept too much of a close eye on you or your business until I got my own c5 vette a few months ago and I have to say that I can tell you’re doing great and no one should tell you otherwise! If you’re successful that’s great, I’m gonna pre buy the bezels before the lights which is backwards but at least this way I’ll know I can get the bezels and the lights will always be there! Anyways, keep doing what you do always look forward to product updates etc!
I appreciate the support. The business, the timing of growing this business, and many other aspects have been tricky. We just try to navigate it best we can. There is no guide book for business, especially as its evolved with social media, global supply networks, etc. I just try to do the best I can and build cool things for the car community. I thoroughly enjoy just being a part of it all.
If I heard you right, the C5 max-din pre-buy will come before the bezels will get shipped? As an opted-in founder which has stood by you all of this time, both financially and on social media, it is going to be tough to get peeps to pull that kind of cash together for another pre-buy before the last pre-buy has even shipped. I don't think anyone would be mad if the bezel's were pushed in front of the C5 max-din timeline to complete the unfinished look of our kickass headlights. Peace bro!
I'm not pushing anything else until the bezels are done. That being said though, I've fulfilled all prebuys/orders for 3yrs, so if in any doubt at this stage, I'd prefer those people with doubts not be founding members. The trim will be done, but the C5 MaxDin units, as a whole production product won't be near done.
