Hey everyone, I've wanted to customize lights for a long time. The time has come. As of right now I will be producing a customized light that is a lot cheaper than a JDM light. I can even use your stock lights to save on pricing. The first set will include a black housing, angel eyes, and a polished lense. Prices aren't set yet due to fees, but how appealing is this item? And if you got them, what would you like done to your set? here's a few pics of the black housing itself without a polished lense, but keepin mind the lense will be clear... Would you want the lows done the same way? What is everyones thinking? Criticism is openly accepted. I am looking for ideas.

Will NOT be a problem at all... infact if you want to send me your HID kit from the get-go I will get everything up and going for you if I can
 What else needs to be done though?

Within a week I will have the first pair entirely done minus the clear lense. At this point the lenses will be gone and awaiting the work being done. WHen you say fitted... as in the set up, or in the actual car?

to figure what the market will bear you need to throw a number out there, based on the responses you need to judge what level of profit you're looking for and how many you're looking to move.
You'll lose customers with a cheap price because it's a cheap product and you'll lose customers with an expensive product. It's your job to find the median. As far as pics go, I would have to see pics of them installed day and night. People might also not want to low-ball your work so as not to insult you, if you want to break it down into materials cost and labor hours spent I could give you a reasonable figure, but I suppose If I was a good businessman I would keep that to myself to maximize profit... -------------------- [img]http://photos-081.facebook.com/n6/081/n15913038_30266081_3342.jpg[/img]

It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. |
