That's amazing work, but $4k for headlights? My Nismo bumper conversion only cost me $2k, and people think I'm nuts for spending that.
Again, the work is amazing!

What do you think we use for toilet paper around here? $100 dollar bills, only the best. Quote:
And, the kouki lights were HALF of what you're quoting and included all new lights with pre-painted center panel, lower metal trim and wiring that is pre-wired to the USDM wire harness so that its all plug-and-play. But if you're broke and want to cut corners, you can always supply the lights yourself which would save you some dough. Quote:

--- 12 years ago when I started out, no one was doing this type of work. Nowadays you guys have plenty of vendors to chose from. Ryan and I had worked together when he had his 350Z and then inquired (again) when he got his 370Z. I still recall him telling me about another vendor at the time, that had similar but less expensive offerings. That vendor is no longer in business. It is what it is. We've been around forever and plan on staying. All of our products are designed to be fully serviceable and upgradable, I personally see a value in that. The cons are the high price and (very) LONG build times. Good luck everyone and Ryan, thanks for the photos, kind words, and glad to see that everything is operating with no problems or water leakage. Last edited by old_s13; 04-19-2012 at 10:19 AM. |

No one here has questioned anything about the quality of your product, only that the price is a little excessive.. By a little I mean substantially.. Especially if the customer is provideing their own headlights.. I know that your 180sx tails were seen as the "holy grail" of tailights on many of the 240 forums, however you seem not to take critisism very well, and in my opinion are quite arrogant.. Talking down to people is not going to earn you more customers... In my experience most people on this forum would rather take that kind of money and put it towards performance gains rather than something cosmetic, no matter how cool it looks. You focus on lights being safety devices, and can not be customized to the customers likings. You proudly proclaim that you are not Burger King, and "you can't have it your way". Well if I am paying that kind of money I damn well better be able to get what I want.. Also since you are so focused on lights being safety devices, are any of your modifications DOT approved? I would hate for someone to drop hard earned cash just to find out they are illegal and can not use them.. Of course this is all my opinion and you can take it for what its worth.. But I am sure I am not the only one here thinking this.

Not sure why people are bashing. If people are willing to pay he can continue to charge whatever he wants.

My post was mostly directed at the attitude of the company, since he represents them. Which is asking forum members to open up their wallets and buy their products.. I've seen the same attitude while representing his company on other forums as well.. I was merely stating if you are providing a high end product your attitude and how you interact with your customers might want to represent the same.

I'm sorry but that looks horrible. Are those made out of the clear diffuser panels from fluorescent light boxes, like you'd find in an office in a drop-ceiling?
