Hey Chris, how can you say its a gimmick if you dont know the product or the installtion, they also offer a 600K kit for much less money than the one that you offer
Do they offer a kit specifically designed to fit the headlight caps on the back of the NSX headlight units? No. But Science of Speed does.
Are the very highest quality components are used? No. But Science of Speed does.
By the time you get around to gerryrigging an installation which might or might not fit the NSX headlight units properly, how much time will you have spent doing so? A lot. But the Science of Speed kit can be installed in under an hour.
It's one thing to get a generic shift knob, when all shift knobs are easy to screw onto a shaft that has a standard thread pitch. It's quite a different matter to install a headlight kit in very tight quarters, where the NSX has far less room and less clearance than most other cars, and where the wiring has to be routed where it will not bend or chafe as the headlight unit is opened and closed. This is NOT an easy installation for a generic kit like the one that Miami is selling. That's why you're so much better off with the Science of Speed kit.
I guess the bottom line, as I see it, is this: do you want to do a half-@$$ed job trying to gerryrig a generic kit of dubious quality into your $30-90K NSX, just to save a few bucks, or would you rather start with a top-of-the-line kit, with the best components on the market, that is designed to fit perfectly on our cars, that can be installed easily by any do-it-yourselfer without needing additional fabrication, and that is also very reasonably priced?
To me, this one is a no-brainer.
