🛠️ Production & Customization
Q: How long does it take to build pre-built lights?
A:
- Standard Lead Time: 6–10 weeks
- Holiday Season: 10–14 weeks due to high demand
Q: Why does it take 6–10 weeks (or longer) to receive my custom order?
A:
Our 6–10 week lead time is an estimate, and actual build times can vary due to the complexity of custom fabrication. Every order involves several steps:
- Receiving parts from the manufacturer
- Inspection and disassembly
- Painting (3–4 weeks) and curing
- Reassembly and sealing (3–4 days)
- Final quality control and inspection
Since many of these stages depend on third-party vendors and require precision craftsmanship, some delays may occur beyond our original timeline.
🛠️ Note: These custom parts are tailored to your exact specifications. They are not ideal for customers needing a quick turnaround. We prioritize quality, precision, and durability over speed.
Q: What if I ordered the wrong style of lights?
A:
It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure all customization details are correct when ordering. This includes:
- Year, Make, Model
- Paint Code (enter in the Notes section)
- If you don’t know it, include your VIN number instead.
❌ Incorrect orders are non-refundable and will not be re-produced without a new purchase.
