    We won't do it because even after you finish it, you still have alot of work on your car to make it all fit after we do the retro fit. Then there is the issue if condensation occurs (even after I've sealed a light fully I still get condensation), you complain to one of us about it, have to take it off the car and ship it back to fix. See how this can not really be worth it after a while?

    Not too mention Prices would break down like this:
    -$100 Headlights
    -$130 Projectors
    -$30-50 Shrouds
    -$8 Sealant
    -$25 bolts and misc stuff needed
    -$60-75 HID Kit
    -$200 for labor

    So your looking at around $550-$650 for a set of retrofitted lights, but thats what you can expect to pay just from someone to do it, if you go through a professional service (someone just did that) its $1,000-$1,200.

    And right now I can't do any retro's, I have enough on my plate with work and school, you would be lucky to see a retrofit, I'm going to have barely enough time to get the coilovers in. (if I were doing them) sometime in 2013.
