Do Rick's strips honestly take 4-6 hours to install?

That depends. It only takes me 1-1.5 hours to install the clear lens them selfs. But you have to remove then from the car and that takes time. Then you have to put them back in the the car, and that takes more time.

It takes the same time to remove the amber lens and not put a clear lens back in too. In an S2000, I have do the whole job in under 2 hours, but then again, I have done my fair share of them too.

The procedure is not hard, it just takes time. You have to work at your own pace. We have had well over 500 successful installs in S2000.

We offer to install them for you as well. So there is always an option

Agreed, but like I said, it is not that hard. I only takes time to do it your self.

The first time I did it, it took 4-5 hours. Most of that time was spent pulling and reinstalling the lights and the bumper. You are always very careful when you take your baby apart for the first time. Now I can do it end to end in 2 hours. So just read the instructions, and follow them closly and you will be happy with the results. We have about 500 happy S2000 owners that have done it, and their headlight cost about the same as the Zs.

Here is my 04 Silverstone with the clear headlight strip installed. It took me about 5 hours but worth it.
