Beebo I'm not being harsh but I'm going to put you into the real world.
You'll need to be at least 18 to start working at a dealer. You will not be a tech unless you know someone most likely they'll stick you somewhere for about a year just to make sure you'll work as well as your ethics. Then you better pray your infiniti dealer does not have Oil-Change-Techs, Lube Techs, Lubbies (around $9-$10 an hour) (whatever you want to call it) and you'll be able to start being an apprentice for a senior tech for $13.50 an hour for about a year. Then you'll become a regular tech and HOPEFULLY you start somewhere around $17 an hour to flag. On average techs are around $20-24 an hour. With Team Leaders $26 or higher and senior team leaders up to $30 per-hour flagging. Techs generally pull in around 40-60 hours a week on average the faster guys will pull around +75 depending on work load and if they get some **** cars.

Back on topic: looks like this project isnt going through guys. There is a HUGE lack of interest on these fog light housings.. I'm hearing $1,000 is alot. IMO $1,000 is fair. This is going to be a perfect fitting piece that goes BEYOND OEM. It'll offer decent support brackets for the fogs (unlike OEM) and IvoryGT will be providing us with some high quality HID Fogs that alone should be around $200 as well as a harness that not even authentic $1000+ kits provide.
IMO you guys are loosing out on an awesome deal for this combo

Yea thats basically what it would say if "infiniti Tech" was in the dictionary. Making the big money at the dealerships is almost like hitting the lottery now days.. Make sure the infiniti market is really good because with no car to work on means no money in the bank.. no matter how much you get paid... Flat rate can bite you in the *** even if you know your ****

^ actually the most profitable makes are
Honda, Toyota, Ford..
You score gravy jobs on services all day long with easy warranty work and these makes have owners that hold their cars well past warranty making good customer pay work.
Companies like MBZ and BMW have stepped up their game and are producing a lot better quality cars (meaning less break downs and less work) back when Mercedes came out with the 140 chassie S-Class and then fallowed by the 99 220 S-Class and 163 ML-Class these things broke down like no other.. a Sunroof job on a ML paid +9.0 hours, with countless errors from audio, suspension, and other powertrain making Mercedes a VERY profitable gig to do back then.
Porsche.. there are a lot of =\ dealers tho.. and very few good ones.. you'll get guys that charge for a clutch job even tho they're R&R the trans for a seperate warranty job. the out come is awesome for the tech and writers when their labor sales per hour is something like $500 per hour but when an audit goes down and your name is still on their employee roster you can kiss this field good bye.

Understandable. I just don't see how it could cost so much money just to have the middle fin in the lower part of the nismo bumper for the sedan have a foglight housing. So it would look like this... (if you know what I mean)

Then again, I can't do this stuff myself and you do, so I really don't know how much time/money it would take to get these made.

you can rig one there easily. probably an hour worth of work. but it wouldn't look right without a proper housing. That's why it cost so much money. If there were 20 people with 100% commitment. it would easily be made and be fair priced. but fact of the matter is people would ask, then when the parts made, they already spent the money on something else. So whoever made the mold is SOL.
