They dont look as good as the JP's, but look at it this way.....

spend $1100 for JP's and never get them, or spend $1300 and actually recieve your product!!

Definitely doesn't look as good as JPs. However, if they are able to drop the price down to the 500 level or less, I would seriously consider them.

If these tails are made anywhere close to the same manufacturing proces that the JPs are made, then the cost can never get down that low.

I don't want to disclose confidential information. All I can say is you would be surprised how much the dealer cost is on the JP tails. John doesn't make a killing on the sale of JP tails what-so-ever.

T.L.W,
Sorry I don't understand.
The JP 98-00 style tail lights can be easily installed into GS300, GS400, GS430.
and also, the price can be lower than $500 included shipping cost.
