ebay sucks, complete crap!

It is ok, but built like ____, and very cheap.

HYPE HYPE HYPE in the auction. Photo is not even of the kit on a car. It is a stolen photo.

So, not worth the money. Most ____ on ebay isn't. Stay away from it.

Whatever you do don't buy a kit from Only-best-deals their customer service sucks, but hey, you pays your money you makes your choices.

They are LED

Being in the business, I've seen a lot of kits, and I'll tell ya again this kit is not worth the money.

Like most everything on eBay, you will regret spending your money on it when it breaks and you spend more to get something better.

Do it right the first time.

How much should a comparable, and quality kit cost w/ installation. I checked with a local car audio shop and they want close to $500 for the set with the remote with installation. The standard kit, without a remote, and without installation is $250.00. How do these numbers sound? Keep in mind its supposed to be top of the line with "2.1 million light combonations".

I've heard so many horror stories of "professionals" installing underbody kits. They will install the tubes backwards, install the ECU in the engine bay (causing it to fry because of water), etc.

You're better off taking your time, and installing it yourself.

Installation could be about $100.

$500 for "top of the line" "2.1 million light combonations" installed is a rip off in my opinion. Great deal for whoever installs it though!

There's a lot of imitation million color kits out there, so be careful. Make sure you look at videos, and try to play with the kit first.

The stuff that is real is Iceled and colormorphics.

So you recommend "IceLED and colormorphics". What's a good price to find them at? With the remote, of course, and the top of the line. And who or where is the best place to order from?

BTW, thanks for the help and not hating on the new guy, I appreciate it, Nick

They use the cheapest components possible. They're built in Ningbo China, a region notorious for low quality. Flimsy acrylic tube and endcaps mean the tube is not durable. LEDs are not created equal. There are many types of LEDs, each with different specs such as brightness and angle. They use cheap LEDs that do not have a long life. The ECU is cool and I like the LED display in the translucent plastic. The plugs on the tubes are very bulky, and not reliable. They come apart too easily.

I could sell them too, and I'd be able to sell them cheaper than my other stuff, since they are very inexpensive. I've decided I would rather sell more high quality things though.

If you want top of the line lucarelli, Iceled UFO is what you should go with. Call me or hit me up on AIM sometime and I can go into a lot of detail why it is the best.
