It's actually $1990. We don't make the kit. Price from R Magic is expensive to begin with.

I admit the price is a bit high, but it's not THAT high when you consider it comes w/ everything you need, including HIDs. There's just a subtle markup due to it being R-magic... It's kind of like RE stuff (RE-Amemiya, that is lol). Their stuff is marked up through the roof, because you're paying for the brand name. Their prices MAY be coming down soon though, since they're going to be teaming up w/ Greddy/Trust to market their products in the US

I just think its crazy that a motor and headlights are nearly the same price. Wow. BUT - not my money, and they do look nice.

Maybe they have x-ray powers? I can think of a few places to go cruizing if this is the case.

Yea I kinda thought it was painfully obvious...but I guess not...

Yea I know I know...it's ALMOST time for the overhaul. Just gettin a few things straightened out.

and i heard you were up in newark the other night! haha sorry i missed ya, don't know where i was.

Yep, I certainly was. Was up in Philly for my boy's wedding, and since we were on our way back, and I was hungry, and there's no DP Dough's within 100 miles of my house, I hit up Dan on the celly, and asked him for directions. The things I'll do for good food... It's such a small world, that I ended up runnin into Dave and Adam while I was there. What are the chances of THAT?! Go figure...

Hopefully come summertime we'll have more than enough time to chill and hit up shows & events, esp. w/ your beauuuutiful CYM

IMO, those look like sleepy eye headlights. I'd like to see some better shots from different angles when they are installed.

And you need some big oil coolers and a nice FMIC to fill up that bumper.

Will do. And yea they do look like sleepy eye headlights. Best of both worlds IMO. Never have to worry about pop-ups, the sleepy eye look, while maintaining the flat sleek look of the pop-ups (when they're down).

And you need some big oil coolers and a nice FMIC to fill up that bumper.
Oil coolers I'll prob do (already have dual ones...R2). I'll pass on the FMIC...I wanna go Monster V-mount if Chuck would stop being lazy...
