CC is $250 + shipping for regular paint and does not offer Halo or STi on their site. And Lightwerkz is $215 for regular paint unless you go in their store and drop of the lights yourself $180 for halo and $160 for STi. Dude we beat all those prices.

Even what you just said is 550. Now where does this equal to 815? Do you see how this does not add up?
Here are their prices.
http://lightwerkz.net/prod_nissan.htm
160 headlights painted
180 ccfl ring installed
100 sti lens swap when combined with another service.
Like I said 440 plus shipping.

Ok, so then 490 shipped - your quote of 815 shipped = 325.00 dollars that I get screwed with. I love, love, LOVE how your prices are so great out in the open. Check my PM, it was sent last month I believe, which is suppose to be within the range of your new pricing. Unless you just decided to drop the price 325 because everything is out in the open now.

I don't get why people are butt hurt - these guys are capitalizing on a market with little competition and their profit margin is large. simply don't buy it, I think everyone is aware that they charge too much. you'll find better deals by either DIY or finding a local service.
the only complaint I have is the thread spamming to get their name out, and the laughable sponser crap that people bite into, but oh well, it isn't my forum :]

TB ur post #132 (where you quote post 130 for prices) completely contradicts your post #111. In 111 you say that the price for R8, Halo, Demon Eyes, and painted is 460 but in post 132 you say those mods should be 850 + the cost of Halos.

please don't get my wrong I love my CinCity Headlights and I paid no where near what you guys are talking about, but I was one of the first orders when they opened and I just assumed that was why my prices were so much lower. however it seems like TB is contradicting himself in this thread and thats why i felt like I needed to chime in.

Yes the r8 mod is $500 and includes paint.
To all this is my last post here. If you have any questions or comments please contact me. I do not get paid by Nic to do any of this. I worked out a deal with Nic to help him out with sales and his website is exchange for my light work. So if you have a fuss with pricing let him know over on our forums and take it up with him since he is the one that makes the prices NOT ME! If you want a quote with our prices that beat all other companies PM me. If you want to go elsewhere I wish you the best.

Did you even read my PM from him. 815 shipped. And now that I said something, its 490 shipped. If you dont think thats shady, then I dont know what to tell you. If their price was 815 shipped for everyone, then I wouldnt say a word. But the fact that people are getting a range of 800-1050 dollars for nearly the same mods is ridiculous. Lightwerkz posts their prices on there webiste, so everyone gets the same deal. With CinCity, if you post ***** them and promote their stuff, they will cut you a 50% deal it seems. Im not butt hurt, just pissed that they sit here and lie to the 350z community. I hate people that lie.

Lets do some calculating here:
Halo ring from a random place (your competitor):
55$
Homedepot Sandpaper, 2 different grades:
15$
Local Wholesale Electronic store leds and resistors:
66c/led + Dollar a resistor = 8.60$
Local Paint shop(professional paint job):
40$ TOPS
Labor cost:
100 per hour let say.
GRAND TOTAL:
218.60$ Canadian (notice the currency difference .80cents?)
Its a 218 dollar job when you guys charge a whole lot more, got a qoute for 800+ something?
PS: Im sure you guys are gettign even better prices for the wholesale items such as leds and homemade rings etc so costs are cut dramatically.
Meanwhile, LW charges 440...
HMMMMmm is it me or some people are getting raped?
