Where is Jay when you need him to post some big huge noob pictures! j/k j/k shhhhh (but jay come here...post one)
If you look back you would see that I refer to not having light mods and only paint as a keeping it clean. You can see this in post #13,#14 and #16. To each there own.

I like the part where you referred to him as a retard and how he should continue to attempt to bite his ear... Then you had a grammar error. Don't worry, I put it in bold above.



And please, caps lock needs to be removed from your keyboard. Stop yelling.

I see the quality from the pictures, but it def doesn't justify that type of price to be honest. I know you say pay to play, good stuff isn't cheap, and time is money. But $1800 to open up the headlights, paint and do their light mod is a bit extreme. I also seen $500 for license plate bulbs? Come on, what bulb is honestly worth that?

OP - i would honestly open them up yourself. It's really not that difficult to do. Sand them down and get them ready for paint. Bag them up and take them to a professional painter, who I'm sure would gladly paint them for a ton cheaper. That's if your just looking for a paint job. While your at it though, you could always order the JDM Sti lens and spacer to do the mod to your headlights since they are open. It's really not that hard to do.

Damn there basic light mod with paint is $1,800?? Holy shiz thats a pretty penny. So total cost for new lights painted with light mod is $3,000! I will sell you my TN turbo kit for less.

Not to mention the down time if you have to send the headlights that are on your car. I heard they have them for quite awhile too.

This is from their website. So if i'm reading this right, $1800 to do the mod + $650 to paint them. For a total of $2450? Plenty other things I can find $2400 to spend on the Z.

$1800/pair White Super LED Headlight "Conversion" (06-08)
$1700/pair Amber Super LED Headlight "Conversion" (06-08)
+450 - Matte-Black Paint Finish
+650 - Color-Matched to Factory Paint Code
+800 - Side-Marker Delete Option

Why don't you guys stop complaining and do it yourself then. I would love to see if you can beat clearcorners quality.

Edit: I take back "clearcorners.com" quality. Paint touching in the inside of the lens. His quality is garbage! CLEANCORNERS.COM SCAMMER MIKE!

Not complaining just in sticker shock. I respect them for having the biz and the cost must be due to high risk involved to help ensure they dont go bankrupt from a misstake. Glad there round for thous that are to scared to crack em open but me personally I will just keep my used pair got for 700$.
