$40 - LEDs strips/rings...etc
$10 - spray paint...more if you have bezels professinally painted
$15 - miscallaneous bolts, screws, nuts, washers and some epoxy
$100,000 - labor costs to do them...I'm a government employee so this cost is drastically inflated

I think that covers it...I could be missing something.
Could be missing suppa top secret blinker mod




I got my parts a lot cheaper, but Chris isn't inflating the labor much, it's taken about 10 times more work than I thought it was going to.

Getting the lights apart is easy, mounting the projector in such a way that it and the shroud are centered in the bezel and still allow for adjustment and make sure they're not crooked? That takes FOREVER
I had to change the way I mounted the projectors about 4 times to get it right.

Besides that, why would you want to? Those look tacky.

That's priceless so no dollar figure could be associated with it

Nah, it's no secret, I just haven't taken a decent picture of it that I like lol

You can get all of those parts for cheaper but since he wants what Marcus has...you gots to pay

So far, I've been lucky and got the projector to mount centered and I will be able to use the OEM adjusters for lining up the beam. Well, that's the plan but I have yet to aim them on the car but yeah, it's a lot of work. I'd rather install suspension or something

I did the full z shocks struts with springs combo and I love the drop in the back but I wanna bring the front down instead of raising the rear...not finding a lot of info on leveling out the drop or the right front springs to buy. Most of them say "drop the G an 1/2 inch, drop the Z 1" but would that mean on a sedan with Z suspension 2 inches? Hope i make sense

^Yeah well... mine was all hunky-dory until I mounted them on the car
Hence the 4 design revisions



Oh, and I was talking about the other suppa secret blinker mod
Speaking of which, did you pick up the components yet?

1. Anyone know the status of Ionic's emblemless sedan grilles, he didn't reply back to me so maybe someone local has a little update.

2. for us 05-06 sedans, what are our options on front bumpers RIGHT now, Only one i know of is strafe's nismo bumper and OEM. I dont count the ones in prototype mode or the ones that will be made when they have time. Seems a new OEM bumper plus Ionic's lip would cost a little more then the nismo. In my state I need a front plate otherwise i would of just gotten the nismo. I could always find a way to mount the plate but just feeling my options.

Other than the Nismo, KuRookie, and OEM, there is my custom Kenstyle. I'm selling it as well. With the KuRookie and and my Kenstyle you can use L brackets that attach to the center lower opening for a front plate to be mounted.

The only way you will get an even drop is with coils or air. You can try different spring combo's. But in the end, coils are the best route.
