+1... This is one of the key reasons why many of my Mods are from FVD. We all know that Porsche mods/parts are expensive but for the premium price I expect it to also include a premium level of service. So far I've had nothing but exceptional service from FVD. Their components are well made... well beyond what I've come to expect from others and even Porsche. I've noticed lately that I've been relying on FVD 1st and foremost for all my projects. If they don't distribute or make it then I'll go to a secondary source. Let me tell you... it's very difficult to gain my trust but like Pavlov... if I'm treated well then I tend to come back for more. As you can see from the list of FVD parts installed or about to be installed onto my car below... I tend to vote with my hard earned cash for those suppliers/manufacturers who deserve my business. I love to mod my cars but only if I feel that there's a safety net on the other end to back me up when I need it. If you haven't done so give FVD a try the next time you have a project, talk to Rhonda, and don't forget to ask for the RL discount.

Damon at Tire Rack is another great person to buy from. He and Tire Rack have great Service.
I also would not hesitate to do business with Jeff Alton at Turn 3 Motorsports. I did business with Jeff when it was Pacific Western Performance twice on some Forgeline wheels. There were many issues with the wheels and both times Jeff stood behind the products he sells...no issues, no arguments, no questions..nothing but he wanted to help and make things right.
Sharkwerks....totally so awesome to do business with. Great Rep on many forums.
RSS (Road Sport Supply) such a cool company with super great cool products and excellent advise and service. Plus they make almost everything themselves...right here in the USA!

Sorry to hear that, interestingly my experience with Rottec has been very positive, including couple of warranty claims (returns)
Also I like the oem look of their rear lights (for 997.1)

Today, 6 August 2013, I finally received a working replacement under warranty. (It only took 19 months).
We'll see how it holds up under washing (as fogging was its problem).

Having previously worked in one excellent Fortune 500 company and one very mediocre Fortune 500 company, I don't think size has anything to do with it. To me, it ultimately revolves around the character of the top person -- you know, "as the helmsman goes, so goes the ship."
I have considered Rottec lights for my 997, but even based on the preliminary experiences posted here on Rennlist, I decided to wait and see.
The longer I waited, the more I liked my "retro" all red tail incandescent lights, and the more I think my all OEM "Classic 997.1" will be valued in future, relatively speaking. Truly, my current tail lights are OEM. After all, who wants a 911T with digital tail lights that try to make it look like a 991 (please pardon this exaggeration)?
I might still do somebody's LED tail lights, but I will always hang onto my originals for this reason. I really appreciate your posting and update -- but I have been on the fence, and I remain on the fence.
