It is win-win solution for you, u will steal the competitors clients and you will get even more people all togeather.

What you're saying is that if someone is smart enough to spend days on end looking for a better deal on the internet they get a break in the price because you match/beat the competitors price, but for other who dont want to look around for a better price (majority) they get to suffer with a heavy price that costs a men his private parts or dignity if they go to a spermbank to sponsor them selves to get your services :P

Maybe your not reading correctly. Most of the quotes were a couple months ago before we had our price changes. Trust me non of our sponsored cars are complaining.

Sounds right depending on what mods you were asking for. PM me and I'll take care of you.

The thing that pisses me off the most, is that every time you mention your prices, they are half of what they are. You quote people different prices for the same work. That is shady. I love how you didnt even respond to any of my posts about your pricing.

Now answer my question, why did you say that you can get paint, halo, demon eye, and r8 mod for 460 shipped.

And why was my quote 815 for paint, halo, sti lens. Lets do the math here:

I did mine myself.

Halo: 45.00 shipped
Sti Lens: 60.00 shipped
Two cans of paint: 8.00
Silicone: 5.00
Sandpaper: 5.00
Total: 123.00

Your Price: 815

You guys charge 692.00 for labor and shipping? Even if shipping was 100 dollars each way it would still be alot. I just want to know why you send some people incredible pricing and some people horrible pricing.

I understand. Our prices change all the time. I also give discounts to people I know personally and friends of a friends so that's why prices are different.

Funny, because I used the EXACT same lenses that you used, and the same paint that every other DIY person used, and the same ccfl kit that lightwerkz uses. I guess we will see what happens. I will buy the rest of my body kit on the 700 dollars I saved. Still didnt answer my question...
