    I had it installed by a dealer...$158 out the door for the three. Think he did it by the foot tho. Didn't charge for the side mirrors cause he was able to use leftover scraps from another job.

    Is that for heads and fogs?

    Any body know if the lamin-x will fix scratches on lenses or at least hide them?

    +1 I am actually wondering if it will cover/disguise oxidation.

    Here's some pics of the cutoff lines of my FX-R's after alignment. Trees are about 25-30 feet away...

    I'm sure the adhesive that you wet will fill in the hole from the scratch and hide minor scratches...it won't actually hide oxidation, but you could certainly clean the lenses up and use the laminx to give it a nicer, glassy finish. That would prevent it from oxidizing again, which it would do rather quickly.

    Looks great!! I need a real camera :(

    I got mine in today. Couldn't get a very good pic the way the light was and with my phone but here's one anyway. I took some short videos too, I'll post those up later.

    Burt was awesome, answering my numerous questions while I was installing them.

    I know you can't see much in the pic, but these things look sweet!!

    This...I can't stress this enough. He was beyond helpful throughout the entire process. Gives tips of how to install, and answers any questions with photos and clear explanations. I was worried at first because he's not on here that much. Wait feels like forever. Once you get your deposit into him and get his number, he updates you as often as you text him. Usually within a few minutes. Plenty of photo updates along the way to help build the anticipation. Packaging is awesome...NO risk of damage, even with the crazy FedEx guy. He provides tracking and quick shipping.

    To ANYONE concerned about working with this guy, fear not. He is awesome.

    Just to balance this out. I waited over a year, received no reply to many messages many times over spans of months at a time with no contact whatsoever to let me know how it was going, and once I finally got the product they were crooked and both lights fog up.

    I'm really glad some have had a good experience and I hold no hard feelings whatsoever ha that's just how life works sometimes, hence why I never came out on here to say anything, but if you want a balanced view, there are plenty of people who have PM'd me asking if I've heard from Burt because they had been messaging him for weeks or waiting even months. My lights were unique but they shouldn't have taken over a year with little to no contact and then sealed poorly and aimed crooked. I would not recommend the service.

    Again, disclaimer here ha, I'm not upset even in the slightest. I was very friendly and polite with Burt and see that other's have gotten great service and a great product, I am just offering the other side of the coin when it comes to reviews. Quite a few people had contacted me when I was told I was "Next" in the queue more than once, even though I wasn't, and several people were upset with his lack of contact or updates. They can chime in if they like.

    Nothing but love for you, Burt. Just stating the facts. I hope your business continues to grow and bring you happiness, man.

    I think he was smoking crack. The other 2 places I called were all around that price. I watched them do the install...it isn't that hard, you just need a heat gun and Windex.
