I got mine at the ND sale last year, but.... Ummm... still need to install
them.

Hey, Peter - your Vortex post is actually what prompted me to ask the 
question!  :)  (though I must say that I'm a bit saddened that you don't

Anyway, I want to purchase a new set so I can get the lifetime warranty. 

Thanks though!
