Default Problem with Orange Tuning

I recently posted pictures of my Dectane tail lights, purchased from Frank at Orange Tuning in Germany. I love them and they work great and the smoked finish works well with my white 997. The problem:

Orange sent clear lenses at first. When I informed them, Frank asked me to repackage them and forward them to a gentleman in the US via a reputable service and he would send me the smoked set I had ordered and reimburse me for my costs. At least he did the former, but he has ignored numerous email requests to reimburse me for my postage costs. I have found Frank to be responsive in the past but sometimes not quickly so I gave him a few reminders over a two week period. Not a huge amount (~$20), but in the interest of full disclosure, some may find this information useful.

I guess you mean the problem is with the vendor and NOT with the actual lights, right?

Do you have a picture of the smoked on your car? I'm up in the air between clear and smoked.

Thanks,

Thanks,
IMO, If you got a darker color, go smoked, if not, clear.
