I think its priced more than its worth (Say $800 for Q45s, never looked into TSX projectors, so lets say same as Q45s which I doubt, so another $800, painting the housings max $150, and halos say $300.

Total $2050, and maybe if they want to add the housings in the price tag say $400, so the price should be $2450 MAX.

But it looks Amazing.

LOL, hopefully not.

Would like this engine setup to last me a long time. Without any major problems other than regular maintenance stuff (i.e. oil change, and spark plugs).

OH ok, LOL I do not think he is making a replacement.

I think he is building a monster 1000 horsepower with 6 speed tranny...

Jeff, people are calling you out !!!

For that Q45: projectors run 400
TSX = $100 for pair
Paint = $75-100 depending on quality
Those halos are cheap, can be had for $30-45
Luxurymods bracket = $50?

Retro for $700 max, plus cost of labor and headlights.

Edit: BTW AAC is a rip off, I bought a pair from a guy who got them done by AAC, they cut the crap out of the projectors, they don't know a thing about retros, the highbeams were supposed to be projectors but they cut the projector in half, and had a halogen bulb behind the lens. I don't know if this has changed but they don't do quality work.

Impressions of the ride:

GREAT, simply great. Handles really well. TRD sway bars definately worth their $500 price tag.

No problems with airrunner, feels better than stock IMO.

The Q45 retro, really catches the people's eyes in the day.

AND the 2JZ GTE, will definately, one day get me into trouble with the cops.... Must drive carefully.
