We'll call this a local event, so we won't apply the normal group buy rules to this, and you can see if you can get other guys to go in with you on this and maybe lower your price.

It looks like you are getting a pretty good deal already. Does their price include labor to remove the headlights or do you have to bring them in for them to do the work?

I think it includs all that.
Drive the car there, drop it off and they'll do everything + put everything back on for you.

I don't think $200 include taking everything out and putting everything back in for you. I doubt they'll do that.

4 hours is such a short time.
The silicone won't even be properly dried with the raining cold season now, which mean they'll probably put the headlights back in your car with wet silicone.

Trust me, for $200.....to a shop's point of view, they're not gonna spend that much time for you. it's like pizza, bake and go!

You've got to do a proper job when it comes to headlights.
As for myself, I'll do them in my own pace and do them right, not rush.

well, i guess thast true, but he says theres a 1 year warranty, so if anythign goes wrong, he'll fix it free of charge, and if he can't replace it right?
