Kinda sounds like TOM'S decided to make official clear lights after helix proposed them.

this blows. I was really looking forward to these tail lights.. Now lets hope the refund process is going to be smooth.

I hope it is smooth as well. Been sending PM's to 86_ZN6 and most of them were ignored (or he just doesn't check his PM often although he's been actively posting on other threads)

My expectation will be that it will take a very long time to get refunded, and it will come when we forget about it.

i read somehwere he canceled his order with Helix and will be refunding within the next week or two, but i'm not sure if he mentioned it or if someone else released that information. that's something he should be addressing to ease peoples' concerns. his site does mention he'll be busy for 86fest and will be back on the 15th.

I expect to have my money back a week from Wednesday at the latest per that conversation.

this whole thing was poorly handled, the least he could do is handle the refund promptly.

Yeah, I'll be filing fraud with my card if I don't hear from him in the next two days. The least he could do is come in here and put info out.

I just want what I paid for and that was an official TOMS product but at this point I'm not willing to fuck over the vendor over this with chargeback fees. Although I fear that this may not end well for him, I can wait a week or two to see what happens.
I have a feeling he was given bad information by HELIX which resulted in what we have today.

True, I really do feel bad about the whole thing for Z6.. I don't know what I would do personally either but - if its not exactly as promised I don't want part of another product. hope this goes good for all that still want in, and those that want out.
