Copyrights and patents are to prevent others from profiting off another's endeavors. As individuals being the end user, that shouldn't apply. So, whoever might buy the lot of remaining blanks, sell them to individuals and let the individuals decorate them. Keith is the only one having the contract with GM and he would have fulfilled his agreement. I could see the possibility that GM might try to intercede with the new buyer if they were decorated.
Of course, there could be value-added. Sell the lenses for what they were purchased for. Throw in a couple of brake light bulbs for another $30 or $40.

 someone could probably design a plastic insert that could be 3d printed maybe more of a cover for the center red filter and not touching the actual lense.

Very easy to make a template or vinyl adhesive sticker (with a cutout saying Pontiac ) on computer printer designed for cutting plastics. If I were to replace the lens covers one of my GT's I would go with a blank blacked out area. The cars are mine so why should I advertise GM. Never did like factory "branding" of cars. ------------------

I feel the same way about clothes, I don't like large advertising logos, I prefer none at all or subtle, I'm not a walking billboard, lol[This message has been edited by Skybax (edited 01-07-2022).]

Like most threads on here, it sure would be nice to hear from the OP. Did we help you or did you forget about this thread?

Keith impressed me as a honest and decent guy, but he doesn't seem overly proactive on his products right now. Perhaps he will continue with the unbranded stuff but IIRC he's already produced 1000 sets, so is there still a need? That could be more than enough to satisfy demand for quite a while. ------------------

I can't speak for Keith but in his last post from 10/2021 he said that he ordered 500 sets but had no idea when they would arrive. I'm guessing he has your information and once they arrive, he'll contact you?

Last I spoke with him the current stock was less than 80 but can only prep 10 or so per week.
(prep = applying black portion saying pontiac, custom font, solid black, ect).
The 500 on a ship at sea with May deadline is another challenge... tik tok tik tok...

Where are these being made? In China?
If Keith contracted these out from a manufacturer in China, they might be available long after Keith is gone. The big risk you take is even though product is dirt cheap, there's nothing to prevent the Chinese from just taking the design you made and selling parts out from under you. GM really shot themselves in the foot if that happens. Chinese don't care about copyrights or royalties.

Keith finally got in touch with me. I guess there were some tech issues.
