Hopefully a Much Better UPDATE on the Turn Signals (long email)

[flaatr at yahoo.com (Euroroc II)]

Quote from Kirsten...

1.  If a turn signal is already being produced by a company, there is no 
way in the world I could compete with their prices.  The reason for this is 
simply because they are most likely using injection molding which has 
extraordinarily expensive tooling but eventually pays for itself through 
cheap prices on a per part basis.  I simply didn't have the money or market 
to do injection molding, so I went with the cheaper tooling but higher per 
part polyurethane casting.
