^^ See thats the problem right there
Someone comes on and says they are going to make them if we get enough intrest then we gather all the intrest and the company backs out for some reason ( just like he did ) gives us the runaround for a year or so and then responds with "theres no market" not that we wouldn't pay for quality parts its that noone wants to Make a quality part! That used to make me mad howeve i don't blame the company's any more our cars are no longer in prodution so look for the aftermarket to completly die off its just good marketing.
(Insert really cool picture of my car with some catchy name or slogan here)
I said I'd still make a pair of projectors to whoever wants to pay up, but I changed my mind as far as selling my own personal pair or Lexus headlights. $450 for the headlights that I made for myself wouldn't cover it, more like $800 to be honest, and I'd still be reluctant, I promise they are worth more to me than cost of materials + labor.
You just have to understand that for whoever is making the headlights, they will sooner or later realize that its not cost efficient and they are the one losing in the end. $450 for a pair of HID projectors is a deal I think, but its still a high price for something that realistically won't be perfect, but that price mostly cover the costs of the HIDs and materials, and only throws in max about $100 of profit for me. Now you might think thats greedy or that should be plenty to hold me over, but try telling me that after slaving 30-40hrs to make them.
