Ed, I would really like to talk without my every response being broadcasted over the forums. I don't think this is a unreasonable request. I wish we could have worked this out another way before it came to this and I WANT to work this out still.

I don't like the way you went about this and I don't understand at what point I became the bad guy here. We were going to work this out and you dragged my name through the dirt in the meanwhile.
Hit me up in an email, you can even call me so we can just finish this thing.

Please post on my thread of how i MISREPRESENTED you. I copied your sentences straight from your email without changing them so that it goes in my favor.
I feel that we could not have resolved this ourselves, therefore i decided to see what other members think about this issue. I did not want to be unreasonable so i wanted to hear other people's thoughts regarding this issue.
As i have said in my other emails. I feel like i deserve all the money i gave you for labor. Not the parts of course. I do not need a refund on the mounting of the M45 projector and i do not need a refund on the blacked out housing. I feel that the other parts of the headlight including the oem headlight itself should be refunded to me.
Lets settle this. I have emailed you numerous of times regarding this. Its not getting anywhere. Lets let the members know what you are going to do regarding this issue. I mean, its not just me. This has happened to one other member as well. He sent in his lights the same time i did...
Thanks
Ed Lin

I honestly tried with these projector retrofits and I thought the work was good. We never did G35 retros before and that was explained to the customers before they shipped the lights. I gave it a shot and worked hard on these lights, our retros for the Lexus GS and IS are always well executed but its just a different scenario all together. I thought I could to it and I needed to make it work so I could earn the money to get my shop back up and running give my employees a reason to move back to New Orleans.
I was seriously depressed after I was forced to move out of New Orleans after the Hurricane and this board and their enthusiasm for the Demon Eyes gave me a purpose and something to look forward to. If it wasnt for this board I think I would have just given up and found a job in Atlanta. I developed and produced a great product in the Halo kits. Just because I apparently "suck" at retrofits dont abandon the Demon Eyes, they are a great product and I am proud to have brought them to the G35 community.
AAC will not execute another Retrofit until the shop is reopened and my employees are back and trained to do them properly.
I am sorry for any problems we caused but I honestly had only good intentions for our customers. I am also sorry for my lack of promptness to these threads. I do not have time to browse the forums and see whats going on because I am usually helping family gut their homes or spending time getting screwed over repeatedly by insurance company.
Me and Pagaon have already made a deal for a refund on some of his costs and I am working with Ed on his issue.
I can still and will continue to sell and do the Demon Eye installations and it is my goal to not have another unsatisfied customer on this board.

regardless of what your reasoning is, you have to separate business from personal. it's something that's very important if you want to run a successful business. like i said, i can feel for you for the fact of all the suffering you've gone through, but if you were unable to complete this task to the satisfaction of the customer, then you've failed.
in all honesty, i can't believe you actually sent back either of the headlights housings that have been brought to our attention. they were done so badly that it's hard to say if you'll get much business from this forum. you had so much potential, yet you fouled it up with a sad excuse of a job well done.
lastly, even if you don't check the forums, you can't deny receiving e-mails. running your own business, you have to constantly check communications or else how can you run a business. even IF you have insurance companies to deal with and other recovery projects, your business is what sustains you, so i would have checked any correspondence even if it's in the late hours of the day.
like i said, you have plenty of potential with these demon eyes on this board, so if you want to reap from that potential, then i would buy some spare headlights and PRACTICE on those, as opposed to practicing on real customers. then show the products to show that you really know what you're doing. then maybe, you'll be gaining some reputation, because right now, it's crap.
good luck with getting everything back together.

I would also like to mention that the slowness and gurantees was already after katerina hit, and he should have mentioned it would take a month+ to get your lights back, etc not a week or whatever short time he said before. Then the wrong info on the 05 sedan lights. Also I read the Lexus forums, and saw you even had a GROUP BUY going on them in December. If you are so overworked why did you have two of them going on at the same time? People were even asking for refunds on that site as well.

...and ONE person asked for a refund and its only because she decided to do a Q45 retro which would not support the Demon Eyes in a GS at the time. It had NOTHING to do with the product.
