Light Bars And Air Dams Now In Stock

[5110]

I think I'm going with an arb rack with ipf lights for about the same price. Not trying to be rude.

Those light holes are for 4" lights so I'm sure people could mount whatever lights they wanted too. The All-pro price on the Sol-Tec lights is full retail.

let me get this straight... $499 for the airdam for 2 lights without any lights included.... and 105 dollars is for one light. plus $45 to wire it... (in my most sarcastic sounding voice) mmmm... okay.... ... where do I signup?

Doesn't All Pro sell an entire bumper for the same cost? This just doesnt seem right to me.

I'm sorry in advance for everyone that I'm offending and pissing-off. But, I can't be the only one who thinks this is a lot of money.

I'm not even gonna try to be polite about it! Those prices sound WAY HIGH and probably based on anticipation in the community. Even at 25% less that's still a chunk of change for you get.

I don't fault someone for trying to make a buck, but JHC!

Not clear on the wiring. Does the harness _have_ to be wired to the highbeams?? Do they work with the tacoma switch? I'm hoping for a fairly straight-forward install.

A question to RockKrawler: What (apart from the lights) is driving the price of the airdam? I can't imagine the materials nor the R&D that go into the airdam being all that expensive. After all, an airdam is just a curved piece of sheet metal.

I love AllPro stuff and plan on purchasing some sliders before the summer is out, but it seems like you guys are just hedging your pricing on the fact the the Toyota dam is going to be a typical OEM shaftjob.

This is closer to what I was talking about when I said it was overpriced... I know lights can be expensive and I assumed you could get whatever lights in place of what was being offered. But, an airdam and lightbar is nothing more than a piece of sheet metal with a bar to mount the lights too. Once you have the template made it has to cost next to nothing to manufacture.

I like ARB products too... they have good designs and use high quality materials. Plus they seemed reasonably priced compared to competitor prices. That's why I was really disapointed at the price. It almost made me sick when I saw it.

I think the light bar and airdam without lights should be around $200-250. The entire assembly with 2 lights and harness should be around $450-500. When the airdam without lightbar comes out, it should be around $150-200. Those prices would be closer to it's actual value as a consumer.

I really don't know what the manufactures cost is... but, if it costs more than $100 dollars to manufacture this thing then someone is getting screwed.... and $400 overhead is highway robery. IMHO.

As a business model it's far more logical to sell 50 units at a $100 markup than 10 units at a $400 markup.

Sounds about right to me...

It seems like they are taking advantage of everyone's anticipation and desperation for this product.

Holy grab yer ankles and smile surprise Batman! Yeah the air dam with lights would have been great and all but I think the money left in my wallet will look even better - does it come with a sticker or something - if it comes with a sticker then yeah, it'll be worth the $800.00 bucks or so....(cue mad cackle).

Capitalism folks. Demand will determine the price. Not how much steel, powdercoat and components cost.
