Pffffff. In one post you say you really don't want to do these unless someone pays you a boatload of money, and yet you won't help those that might like to do it themselves. Some spirit of helpfulness you've got there. Lets see if we can make modding the Contour anymore difficult.
A boat load of money is what something that custom costs. You'd be getting for a steal if he only chaged you 175 dollars. This is the exact thing I was talking about in other threads. People want handouts, and want to take away any leverage steeda, myself, or others have over earning some spare income.
You guys have NO IDEA how many PM's I get from people about headlights. Not about making a set for them, but on HOW TO DO IT. Im sorry, I spent all that time doing the R&D and tinkering with the stupid things. Im not willing to just let that time go to waste when I can recoup some of the money and buy books for next semester.
It's that kind of 'screw you, do it yourself' attitude that I can do without, and that really has no place here. He'll still have people wanting him to do it for them even if he tells, so it's not as if he'd be losing any (potential) business.
But I'll tell you, this is just the sort of thing that makes me WANT to scour for hours until I find it, just to tell everyone anyway. Yes, I'm that kind of spiteful b@stard.
Thats just exactly it, if he told people how to do it, then those people who might have paid him are going to try it themselves and WONT come to him, which is a lose of income to jason potentially a large one if enough people think they can do it themselves.
All of the stuff Jason and some of the stuff ive come up with come from thinking through ideas, testing them out, and then perfecting them. Is compensation wrong ?
There are alot of mechanical things that I dont know how to do but want to learn. Whats my solution? Trade what I do know for what I dont. Worldtour, steeda, Rara all of them are willing to help me because they know I can bring something to the table thats of interest to them. If you're so inclined to get a Double Din set up without spending money why dont you try seeing what you can bring to jason instead of money?
If you were a stripper with a super money earning dong whip move, how would you feel if i came up to you and asked you to teach me how to do it so i could clean house??
