yeah I'm in for a set with sliders and round tail lights, no liscence plate bracket
as you can see the sheetmetal on the jk is subject to denting easy, this was from my plastic flat fender hitting a rock and transferring it to the body

2) We will offer both round & black, and the mounts will be standard for those folks that don't want our lights (but you'll still have to pick round or oblong because they are different). We won't have a recessed mount because they are not legal in some states.
3) The ORF or Gecko laser cut in the back is still up for debate. The Gecko is cool (I like that idea the best) but the ORF is better known.
We will not be able to do the JK-Forum logo for the pre-orders. I've PMed WOL about this and his counsel has advised him that he could have copy right issues if he allowed us to laser cut his logo into our corner armor for a small group.
Thanks for everyone's ideas! I've not replied to them all, but everyone was much appreciated. Your input is helping us better our products and company.

That price will be for the MSRP adder, which from what I understand the corner armor is going to be around $479.
We are also working on 1/16" EDPM liners for these. We will be releasing the liners next week for the Rocker Side Armor. A lot of testing went into coming up with which material to use. We tried Black Rubber, Neoprene, and EDPM. The EDPM was the only material that didn't degrade from high heat coupled with solvents. We're going to included a set on these on the pre-orders complimentary. Since we already tested the material and it works for Rocker Armor we know it will be great for the Corner Armor... and pre-order folks will make a good test market group.
What do you guys think of Gecko Skins? If we use our Gecko to logo this item we're probably going with that product name.

We're pretty much set on the configuration for these. Sorry
For the pre-orders it will be the same price. You'll probably pay a little more for shipping.
I was pretty vague when I quoted the pricing. The pricing I mentioned will be for the Corner Armor (internally known as Gecko Skins) with lights (either oblong or round) through a distributor (customer pays them... we'll ship the product direct).
