    For that price i'd just go with the ones on ebay, my buddy put a set on his 88 porshe and they look insane, even though they are in H4 non projector housings.

      I asked Nick yesterday what he wanted to do.

      For R3v members, he's willing to do:

      $350 -normal cost per kit (2 bulbs, 2 ballasts)
      GB's:
      $340 -5 people
      $325 -10 people
      Prices plus shipping from Chicago.

      The kits are the best quality and absolute best on the market, made by Acumen. To give you guys an idea on this pricing, Misterjung's kits are $400 and they have had numerous problems. Misterjung advertises Hella as the best Ballast Manufacturer. Hella is NOT the best ballast on the market, Acumen's is.
      The Acumen Ballast has an operating range that dwarfs Hella's, a more powerful power source with start-up reaching 23,000 Volts, Flickerless Warmup, smaller easier to place and perfectly constructed ballast, and is more efficient. And of course all bulbs are perfect plug'n'play into the housing with the HID capsule placed exactly where you're existing halogen filament used to be for exact beam pattern. I'll be happy to email a powerpoint presentation on Acumen and their HID kits to whomever is interested.
      Awesome price! I may be down.. Once I get my ellips.

          Please PM me if you are serious about the kit and I'll inform you in a while about how much interest I get and what the deal with payment is.

          For that price? The next best price is $400 and that's misterjung's stuff which I've heard plenty of bad stuff about and problems.
          You get 10 guys and save $75, not to mention this is the best kit on the market. Obviously you can get better prices on ebay, but then again, its fucking ebay and you get what you pay for.

              In a word? Awesome if you know what you're doing and can be creative with ballast placement. Remember, I also had 4 ballasts to hide. I'll try to get an install pic. The kits are as close to plug'n'play as you can get.

                Yeah, I'd like to see the installed pic.

                Thanks for the effort you're putting into the GB Chris!

                    why are you asking Chris? He just stood by and held Nick's beer.

                    Chris is to short to reach into the lowered cars engine bay anyways....



                    right Guido?

                      I bet your friend doesn't have real HID.. more like $5 autozone blue-coated ricer bulbs.

                      I may end up doing HID someday (the lighting upgrade would probably be worth it), but I have other priorities with my car. although $350 for a good plug in kit sounds like a good deal..

                        I'll do a little explaing when i get a pic, but I dont have time for a write-up. It did turn out to be rather easy to get the wiring hooked up, but I had nick show me how to do it since he's done it so many times, their his kits, and wiring is kinda his thing...

                        P.S. Chris has a milf and a hot sister....spread the word.

                              got pics of the install yet?

                              where did you place the ballast for the headlights?

                                I bet your friend doesn't have real HID.. more like $5 autozone blue-coated ricer bulbs.

                                No they are real HID's. 6000k with an H4 base so they pluged right up.
