Most auto manufacturers make compromises throughout the car in an attempt to save money. If they did everything they could to maximize every aspect of the car, then there wouldn't be such a thriving aftermarket scene .

Apparently your customers have noticed a significant improvement and have only said positive things. My question is - why doesn't Infiniti already come equipped with such a grounding kit, if it's so easy to do and makes a positive difference? Does the manufacturer see a downside to this kits?

Thanks in advance,

- Mr. About to Order
The simple truth is money. For a manufacturer to do this would increase their production costs. Times however many thousands of cars they sell per year, we are talking about millions of dollars. They do just enough to get by, but not enough to truly enhance performance.

Take a look at the tiny wire the size of a piece of kite string that's attached to the grounding point where my battery to body ground goes in my install instructions. That is the wire grounding your headlights! Are you kidding me???

They're just too cheap.

Not installed pics, but a side by side comparison.

Sorry I missed your question. Here's a quick side by side photo, the black is very black. The CF look is composed of black mono filament PET fibers woven with clear fibers to give it a woven CF type look.
