Default Will do guage color change for money.

I just recently finished changing all of the amber in my car to blue. It looks really good and I'm willing to do it for anyone that lives in the Reno/Sacramento/Tahoe area for about $400. I will pay for any broken parts, but i didn't break anything on mine so I probably wont have that problem.

Seriously!?!?!? I do it for people here in the Boston area. $100 is the rate I charge and this is a fair rate. The work is not that difficult that you can justify or warrant a charge of $400! Good luck with that.

i could ship it to this dude.... then he would do the work for 100 and ship it back (or i could pay shipping both ways) and it would still be cheaper. heh people in the bay do it for 100-150....

I bet he uses gold plated bulbs and that is the reason - so ... maybe everybody should backup a minute ...maybe hes giving a great price for something like this. Gold isnt cheap ya know.

i'm sorry... but if there are actually people out there stupid enough to pay you that much.. there is no hope for humanity... in which case i personally gave up a long time ago..

but anyway... yeah.. i am leaving this post here so you can edit it and change your prices to something that's actually reasonable.

'cause well.. i need some help up here in pac-mid for led swapping.
I just like that you are a mod that does this LED change and charges for it and you did not delete this crazy post but hey as long as you make money it's all good.

Hey Trung if you'll teach me how to do the L.E.D. swap I can do it. I can solder no prob I just don't have a clue as to what I'm supposed to do... Even after reading the how-to its just intimidating
