Your missing my point. What im saying is no one should have to pay to pre order...period. The ripoffshop gets them on credit. And if they dont, im sure they have a business credit card.
All well established businesses have Terms with each other, 30 days or more. So they don't have to pay each other for orders until they sell the batch of products and get paid by their customers. Even if they don't have Terms, then they can always use credit card for the order.

What we're seeing here is all bisienses charge for pre orders because they can and it's also a good practice to do this for their cash flow. It is possible that they have to commit to certain number of units from Morimoto and pay them upon delivery, or soon ... So they don't want to wait and hope that they'll sell all of these headlights on time to have money to pay moromoto. They also need to be sure that you're serious buyer and won't back out at the time when they finally get the headlights, so they won't be the one stuck with large inventory and having to pay moromoto for it all within 30 days.

It's a pretty standard practice to ask for payment ahead. Contractors ask for the first payment to buy materials and begin the work... A good business practice.

So who has the best deal on these headlights? Is the $1200 price tag the lowest they have been during the pre-sales?

From who?
Somebody posted that sale price from last month at retroshop. Would have thought black Friday deal would have been even better

Oh ya that was 15% off for about a week, I too was hoping for a greater discount like last year.

So far I think Nick has the best deal

So the ETA is pushed back another month, which means even longer before we see actual pics of the production lights and not the 3D printed lights, and they still want people to pay pretty much full price on pre orders. I'll just stick to my HID's at this point.

it's been reported several times in the last few pages of this thread and on the TRS website that the date is pushed back until January - February .

$1200 for headlights or $1200 plus or minus for LT headers and mids? that’s not a tough decision for me. I love you all but I just can’t spend that much on “something pretty.”

I respect your decisions to purchase these but I just can’t, I’m sorry.

But if anyone wants to buy my timeshare on the moon of Titan, send me a PM :popcorn:

I just ordered it via TRS together with vertical fogs :)

Kept going back and forth, but these lights just look the best, and how can you beat all-in-one assembly from one of the major players in terms of reliability and performance
