Default Clear Headlight Strip, Who wants em'?

Since Ares is not doing the clear strip I've been searching for people that could do them and finally found somebody. He just wanted to know how big the demand for the clear reflector is assuming that it will be around the $100.00 mark. Please vote if you would be interested. I know that the numbers grew since the last batch that Ares shipped out. He just wanted to know the amount of people first before he committed to making these.

I will keep you guys informed with any decisions that he makes.

I would be interested, but not at $100. I think $30-40 is a better mark to hit, although it may be impossible to do so. If the price comes down I'll be in.

I think Ares was charging $80 for these. Good luck getting them @ $30~$40.

This guy has done other cars (not 350z). He was actually introduced by another friend and he told me that his turn around time is about a month. So I'm not sure how long it takes, haven't discussed about it with him yet. He just told me that he can do it and just wanted to know how many ppl out there would purchase it. As far as pricing goes . . . I just threw some prices out there comparing to what Ares is charging and what he has charged in the past for other cars. I will let you guys know who this person is when he actually says he can/wants to do it. I don't want him to be flooded by e-mail until I know that there is a good amount of ppl interested in this.

Run with it chaknchngo!!! I posted this thread over at motoring too. There were 26 interested over there, so hopefully they'll all come here and show interest to get the count up.

I'm in.

ok i dont understand why you dont goto Home Depot and buy a sheet of floresent lighting diffuser grid and cut it to size... it is a $10 sheet you could make 300-400 clear strips out of. its not that hard
