I think he brings up the point that you gave people a quote, then came back saying that the job is too dangerous and you have to up the price. I have to agree, this isn't an easy job, but definitely not something you are going to get "injured" over. It's a dremel, not ban-saw.
Thank you Y2KSVT. That IS EXACTLY what i said and meant. Plus Instant oil change means done in 10mins or its free, hense, the many many burns w/ HOT oil. This job is not something your going to need to take out life insurance for w/ using a Dremel
Originally posted by Y2KSVT:I can cut the headlights apart in about 1/2hr a piece. that's an hour of my time. You are using a ~$10.00 can of spray paint, and then ~$10.00??? for the adhesive. Give an hour for prep/paint, and another hour for putting the headlights back together. Another 2 hours for polishing. So we're up to 5 hours of your time, and $20.00 for parts. $120.00 / 5 hours = $21.66/hr. = NOT BAD
For those that dont need polishing thats $120 / 3hrs = $40/hr = pretty bad

I would either stick to the original price or consider not doing the GB if you're that much in danger. Especially if you can't give a 100% guarantee that they won't fog/leak. BUT, this is all IMO.

Thank you again Y2K. thats exactly what i meant as well....althought i do agree this is a really nice mod...i dont see the price and the possibilty of getting back lights that leak/fog worth it IMO.
