What exactly makes it worth 870.00??? Seems kinda steep but looks awesome. I can see 400.00 or something but then again I don't know what goes into it all.

They do quality work--plus, when dealing with a very expensive headlight assembly (such as ours) the liability factor does come into play. They do quite a bit of modification to the headlight, led's, etc. I have modified my headlights, but not as drastically as the conversion from cc. From what I've seen they do good work--and I am a firm believer in that you get what you pay for.

it's not hard at all to open up your headlights. the s2k guys do it like it's not a big deal at all. i personally have done it about 8 times helping out local people. it isn't hard, but it is time consuming.

preheat your oven to 150 degrees and bake for about 15 minutes on a damp sheet of cardboard and ... voila

noway is it worth paying 800+ for, imo.

They would rather sell 10 at $900 than 30 at $400

labor intensive; and as xswl said, better to do fewer as it alone makes their work that much more valuable by making it more rare. a guy with a show car that has no budget at all would probably be more inclined to pay 900 for something that less than 10 other people have than 400 for something that everyone and their sister have.

would you rather get paid 50$ an hour 4hours a day, or 30$ an hour 8 hours a day. might make more 8 hours a day, but it isnt worth it.

Just remember back to the clear light craze. And painting them damn bulbs red every so often. And after market projector headlamps that shot the light 5 feet in front of your car. I do what I can but if I can find someone who can do it to perfection then I think it's money well spent.

That car looks sick...nice job. I never would have had the balz to use that color wheel set on a brick, but I like the look. Congrats and enjoy the APS. Thanks for posting, the CC's compliment the look, worth the expense IMO.
