Kyle im def interested.
You know exactly who I talked to JD! I've been in contact with them this week and we are going to see what we can come up with. My biggest concern/demand is that the projectors are equal to or better than factory. I don't want to release something that is sub-par in its performance.

I am allready getting my lights done by Brandon so I am a no go on this. But as alot of you know, most after market projectors use really cheap lenses. That is why I was fine with the retrofit. But I know kyle or anyone at Stillen will not promote a crappy headlight.

I think we all know that Infantry meant to say "Not Promote". Our thoughts go faster than our typing at times

I haven't' seen 1 inferior product from Stillen yet and if Stillen is putting their name on it, you can bet it's going to be quality.

How exactly are halo's rice? I was under the impression that most high end european cars come stock with halo's. Most BMW's and Mercedes. But I guess they are "rice". To each his own, I just think that was a dumb statement to say. You could of just said, "I don't like them"

halo's rice?

BMW's rice?

anything a japan made car tries to imitate that originated on a high end car is rice?

Infantry, Rob, Please keep in mind that the statement is coming from a guy who's screen name is "chinaman"

halos rice?.....yeah

Like infantry said, a simple "i don't like them" would have sufficed

I wouldn't deem it Rice really? Maybe too trendy for my taste. Rice is a front wheel drive car with a big wing or even worse and Bleecher Seat on the trunk, some no-name muffler "Joe the Muffler Man" slapped on and some blue tinted headlights racing everyone and their mom from redlight to redlight! I would like a simple Projector with nice cut off, get rid of the Amber, and maybe black out the housing.

holy, you guys dont have to bust a nut over it. if the car doesnt come factory with halos then why put it on. i've seen hondas roll around with those angel eyes and i personally think it doesnt look nice

Stop makeing dumb comments and we wouldn't haft to "bust a nut over it" If everone went by your last comment then there wouldn't be any aftermarket parts. My car didn't come with most the stuff on it but according to you I shouldn't of bought any of it.

So all you manufacturers should stop making upgrades for our cars. The factory didnt include them in the base model, so there is no need for aftermarket parts.

Also if you havent noticed, we don't have Hondas.

Seriously guys, it's just a matter of opinion! As with most of you, I too disagree...I don't think halos are "rice" at all. What I think Chinaman was getting at is that halos are getting somewhat played out...I mean, tons of folks have them. And why not? I think they look freakin' awesome! Who knows...five years from now we might all think the same way as him...

...and Infantry, by your logic, then lambo doors get the green light too?

Seriously, it was just the dude's opinion...the only difference between disliking angel eyes and disliking lambo doors is that at the moment angel eyes are "the in thing", therefore most of you spazzed.....

we do kinda ride hard on the newbies sometimes... but then again, dude did come in here and basicly clown almost all of the projectors done to date, since they alll have angel/demon eyes, I guess they are rice... I think it would have served him best to just say that he felt they were a bit played out... and if that's his opinion, that's cool... i think most would disagree, but again, just more opinions....

the only thing that is DEFINATELY PLAYED OUT IS.....

.....

......

......

spinning rims.. LOL... see Dangeris, I know what you THOUGHT I was gonna say....

ok, end of thread jack!

toshay. I may of went a bit nuts on the the kid and for that I am sorry. But as far as I can remember I have never called lambo doors rice. If someone wants lambo doors then get them. I may not like them, but it isnt because they look rice. Lambos arnt asian. Its because they ware the hinges out and ruin the door, most kits a cheep , and I just don't think they look good on the A/C. But I love them on lambos.

Now back to talking about the lights. Please remember to be respectful

I think angle eyes belong on a BMW, Lambo doors on Lambos, and spoilers on cars that actually need them!

If your car doesn't come with projectors from the factory, why did you say you were in for some projectors? You wanna be rice by your own standards?

Hey Kyle,

I never saw this thread, but count me in for something that has a good design and build.

Also, as far as marketing goes, a lot of people who went through the ordeal with Brandon found the swapping of lights and waiting for everything to be done, left them without their cars for several weeks. If the company goes through with this, I think it will be the best idea for them to build up 10-20 sets first, then come out with the product. The guys who buy them will get their new headlights, then after the install and they are good with the quality, they will have a window in which to get there core headlights back to said company. I think this will keep the best flow of things happening. Thoughts?
