Flush mount Headlights, how much?

I am researching the prospect of flushmount headlights with the stock bumper. I'll definately build something for myself. I'd like to know how much you would pay for something that replaces the stock headlights without a new bumper, and doesn't stick up above the hood line. I need to know what my target price should be so I can make a go, no go decision.

Depends on the quality, and the look. I said 4-5 bills.

A guy here on the forum named "FlyingOfer" or something like that, did a custom job himself. It was like the cost of materials: Plexiglass, sealant, and new headlights. So say $100. For a company made set up such as RE Amemiya, you have to buy a new front lip. The famous RE FC 2000 kit (the one seen on this month's featured car) goes for $1800+. Keep it under $400, and it should sell well.

FlyingOfer (Jason) made a simple kit that someelse had fab'd also. The kit is REALLY simple to make...but, it is NOT a true molded tub kit....

I REALLY would like to see one....If I have to cut away from my stock bumper to fit it..so be it!

I am an avid pop-up fan, so I am a bad source for price info, seeing as I wouldn;t pay $5 for non pop-ups!

i have been working on flush mount lights... alot like the eastbear headlights.
i have been running the dual round lighs in my 7 for years. I made a thread about them long ago on another SN and it took off from there. everyone running lights like that these days figured it out from my thread.

what im working out is quality controll... i dont want to have to make a totally one off custom set everytime.... for every order. so im making a mold and a jig for the fitment.

id like to offer both flush mount and the flipup dual lights one day soon.

nothing wrong with a little friendly comp... might come down to quality of product.
