Did you know that you can go to Microsoft's site, download all kinds of applications for evaluation, and send back your input? That's FREE Quality Assurance for Microsoft - by thousands of unpaid testers. They save loads of $ doing this. Are they crooks? They're making money off of that info, aren't they?
Just take a step back and look at the big picture, look at what's going on, where you're going with the car, and what you're getting out of it. It's not that bad.

Over the weekend, I took a look at the headlights. Doesn't seem quite as easy as Matt thought it would be. From what I can tell the bumper cover AND the front fenders would need to come off. I didn't even try to remove. I didn't want to screw with anything without knowing more. Plus, too beautiful outside. Needed to go riding on the VFR! 
Gochan, any news?

so you are telling me that ronjon messed up and should have charged jinen to make the body kit? are you nuts!?!??
and a large company like Injen who designed the intake off that guys TL, they should have charged him too when they didnt?
ronjon and Injen are professionals, umnitzza or whoever they are is not! its that simple
if i used a person's property to make a prototype of something and sell it to the masses and make cash, the least i could do for that test car is give them the product for free.
i wonder if you work for umnitzza or know somebody there.....

He's gonna give me a price quote this weekend as he takes a look at his TL to see exactly how it can be done and how much work it will take...

You DO NOT need to remove the fenders to take out the headlights

Anyway, not every situation is the same with every manufacturer and every customer is it? If you go through life excpecting such continuity, you're in for some surprises. Again, I said look at the big picture.

See above.
Perhaps they're not professionals, I have no idea. They may in fact be a bunch of crooks. But if it were my car and I was able to see their shop, past work, etc, and was satisfied with that - I might cough up $160 to get my car done even if it meant they're going to use the prototype developed off mine to make $ later. It's not that much $. Now if it cost me $500 but the kits will later sell for less than $200 then I'd skip it.
Knock yourself out, that's your prerogative.
Ah there you go - either I'm nuts or there's some sort of conspiracy, eh? Something like that must be the case if I don't have your opinion? Give me a break.

ok, here's an update. they did NOT work on the car today. i spoked with matt, the owner, it said it's about an 8 hour job if i want them to take the bumper off and do everything and the price would be roughly 400 plus or minus. and he's got a show coming up soon and he doesn't have time to do so right now. so i might just have a local body shop take it off for me and then take him the lights. he said that would drop the price dramatically. i willl keep you guys posted.

without a doubt a very unprofessional business, they are so many people making the angel eyes right now, and it look's like this isn't one of the more reputable shops. shame too

one sale and that will pay for the measilly $160 labor. Thats like a resturant charging you for each napkin, lol. They obviously don't realize the potential of the TL. I'm sure they will get over 100 sales the first month, easilly. Let me see if I can find any suppliers who can provide their services.
