get a job, ya bum...! you dont even have a 240 anymore. :-)

thanks man, very appreciated...i mean we'll see, since i have access to all the equipment for tooling it might not be too expensive. it will be to my standards if i make it, plus people saying i could let people buy them and put their own headlights in. NO. Because ill sell it to some guy who does a zip tie headlight install and then some asshole will look at them and post all over the internet on how they look like crap because of that detail.
I'll probably end up making them and offering a group buy, but ultimately having to just make them for only the people willing to put up the cash.
