I personally have a really bad feeling about these perticular lights-you ALWAYS get what you pay for and if you're doing something do it right the first time...spend the extra $100 and get the real euro e36s' and make your own brackets...it looks like a fairly easy project...good luck

Those things look 20Xs cheaper in person. I wonder how much the real Euro-spec E-36s are going for now? I paid $500 with shipping for mine back in '01 with angel-eyes installed in them.

How much for 5 speed swap?

How much would it cost me if i just gave someone my car and said buy everything and do a 5 speed swap for me. You can keep the old automatic transmission. (works perfect) on my 94 maxima gxe.

Atleast $20 for the ability to search




but with the info you gain there, you'll save ten fold. There have been a number of threads on this already with lots of good information. Cost wise, it's hard to say, just depends on the deals you get.

your working auto isnt really worth anything maybe 2-300$ which is what you would pay for the parts to do the 5spd swap at a junkyard

the labor would be alot especially if you have them get the parts proboly 500-1000 depending on the shop

If you want a short ram setup, you can buy my maf adaptor and a brand new K&N filter for probably cheaper. But you will have to use your stock midpipe piece (no biggie).

Remove and replace with metal, bondo, sand, paint to factory color. Thats the 'best'.

Or spray them with nyteshades.

(Funny azn dan did it but doesn't know what it's called.)

EDIT: I am retarded, read two threads at once, and thought this one was about a tranny swap. Sorry about that.

I know nothing about lights, sorry.

Oh ja, your car would look much better lowered:

[quote=4dscPat]300-400 for all the parts you need. Labor will be the killer.

Don't make up prices newb.

-$30 for double the metal you need.
-$20 in bondo and glazing supplies maybe enough for paper.

And whatever for paint.
