That has caught fire so the parts endeavor got left behind.

I do want to thank everyone for their enthusiasm. It was a good experience if anything.
Just curious, ...Was it not going to be cost effective to continue with this, or do you just not have the time? With all of the support behind these, perhaps you can partner with someone (no, I'm not offering, I wouldn't have a clue or the resources) to continue on with them. You must still have the designs and prototypes. Seems like this is a big step in the right direction. Now just finding someone to produce, package and sell these.

Time is the number one hurdle. It's funny, after I posted my reply, i also thought to myself perhaps I could partner with somebody. Regardless, these mirrors would be in the neighborhood of $400 a pair. That was the other thing that was making it difficult to bring these to life.
