Steve,

Wanda mentioned that you have new illuminated door sills which are "stick on". Do you have a pic of it? Also, how durable is it? Warranty?

Thanks.

so I successfully put in my deposit via this method. this is soooo much easier and cheaper than doing a wire transfer. thanks for letting me know about it!

I am sorry but Steve is NOT the MB God!

Does Steve makes these trips because he loves MB's? NO, he loves the $coin you idiots give him for his overpriced installs. Steve also hates anyone who does NOT buy his overpriced MB mod's and then he calls people 'hackers" who do their own quality installs. Steve you should be a used car salesman, uhmmm you already are.

If Steve wasn't around to do retrofits or provide parts, we'd have to pay more money to stealerships, most of which are not willing to do these types of mods. Heck, even dealerships ask Steve to do retrofits for their customers cars because of his experience. You are just plain stupid.

Didn't you post this last month:

I had to go with the fake lights because i shoulda and woulda ordered the BIX if I wasn't brain dead at the time i orded my car! After seeing the real thing though i would love to have the real BIX. I mean I have what i consider the best fake HID/BIX i.e.:Super Xenon 6000K's (www.seekspeed.com), but there is nothing like the real thing!

Those look absolutely incredible.

How can a person get ahold of the famous Steve?

Thanks.....
Found out the price was too high or something? You're also the guy who posted that his bulbs can look like HIDs when driving down the road. I have aftermarket HIDs and love them. After 2 years I decided to go with Bi-X and Steve saved me a ton of money.

...are you one of those people who got refused by us...or are you perhaps still unhappy because I do not come to your area...are you p!ssed because I call a hole-drilled-in-a-headlight-sealed-with-sticky-black-stuff a hackjob (cause that IS what that WAS - no matter what)?

Now grow up, move on and get a life - thanks.

Yes the price was WAY too high...

for his BI-X lights. So I just stayed with the Xenon bulbs (2nd set as the first ones had a crooked end cap) and even the Mercedes service manager asked me if I got an HID kit! You can figure the rest out.
Steve's BI-X and other mods are way too high priced. He also slams people for doing their own stuff so he can keep his game of high dollars coming in. I am a capitalist at heart but I do NOT have to lower myself and step on other people to make my coin.

So all of you keep buying from Steve, he needs to make his boat payments! HahHah.

If you don't like what he has to offer at the price he's offering it, don't buy it. Many of the people on this forum have had great experiences with him. A lot of people also value genuine OEM mods that are either not available or didn't come originally with their cars.

the guy is a moron Steve, ofcourse you have ot make your money! you have a life to live and a family to provide for, door knob! For the record, i bought Bix from Steve for $1,200 USD, the dealship would have charged me $1,750 per light! Do the math! and yes Steve charges extra for install, no shiet! Still 100X cheaper than anyone person plus he knows what he's doing.

Steve,
Do you have any brilliant silver euro impact strips on hand. I know that these are special order and take several weeks to get in. I was hoping to possibly get some installed during your next trip to the bay area in about a week or so.
Advanced thanks!

Don't dish it if you can't take it.

Steve...I do not like the way you trash people for not buying your products or for doing their own installs. Let the modders mod. Furthermore, I would rather pay the dealer price than pay your price with NO warranty and then have to reprogram the car too.

Lets quit the name calling.

my 2 cents...

From my experience, email is always the best way to contact Steve and Wanda for parts quotes and "stock checks"

This, quite honestly, might be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Rock on, Steve.

I don't know where you come from nor what your age is - but 1) I do not trash people in general and don't trash people for not buying my products at all (unless you can direct me to any post here on the forum where I actually DID trash somebody)...2) modders can mod whatever they want - I couldn't care less - to each their own...3) and no matter who installs what - reprogramming cars has to be done for almost everything - no matter what.

So either come with facts you can proove or start growing up (and you can leave the moving on and getting a life to later).

as far as I am concerned this is the last post I waste on this (unless you do actually come with proof f me trashing people for not buying my products as in that case I owe you an apology)
