what kinda price range are you talking?

doGGy

#37

basicly i can play open cards and tell you the whole situation, just that you guys could imagine:

Projector units: Good ones might cost about 100$ for a pair. Sometimes they cost about 30-50 for a good used pair but not the best ones....

Inner housing around the projectors - including all matterials will cost about 20-30$ not much at all and not too hard to make...

Shrouds around projectors (the chrome piece what covers whole projectors) original ones might cost about 80$ for a pair. To make custom ones - about 20-30$

Glass polishing - 100$ here. Expensive.

Making metal plate for projectors assembly - about 2$ LOL >>

And all this not including work, and it is about 2 full days of work to make them...

so in total we get about 260 in matterials only, not including work. And theres a lot of work, atleast 150$ needed for work. so in total it is about 400$ as for 475$ you can get JDM lows.... this is why it is expensive....

well then how much does it take to make the highs? Didnt you just paint the inside of regular ones black? I would pay for a set like that.. I think that is still cheaper than JDM projectors isnt it?

Romas, my FMIC is huge too. Its about 14 inches high and I have read that as long as at least 1/3 of the bottom of the intercooler gets air, it will do its job well since the air from the bottom third will disperse very well into the rest of the intercooler. In fact, what I have read is that allowing the air in from only a portion of the intercooler actually works better. I might be able to find the link for you. In short, I doubt the holes are necessary.
