junction..welcome..

guys, i ordered a set of JP rear lights from japan few weeks ago for another GS bro, and they are sitting at the local USPS..too bad i was not home when they rang the door bell (more than once i hope)

anyway, i will post some pics later this week when i receive them

{_}, yeah, i wish they give more discount too..BUT, their stuff is like Chanel bags, most are sold at "MSRP"

 

I say we get a group buy on those taillights im willing to pay 550 for them. What are those yen trading in for american n e ways?

 

they cost ~$1350 air shipped from japan to LA, duty and processing fee included

 

geeez 1350.00 4 the tailights, ? r they an xact fit or a replica? could a group buy get them any cheaper? would it b cheaper 2 fly over their and pick them up?

 

In the past even buying a bunch one could not get a discount........

 

well, the plane ticket is ~$600-900, depends on the season..and you have to saty few nights for more goodies, right..and you pay retail prices too for the lights..i do admit they are NOT cheap...as do most JP stuff

 

Man, if someone in America could clear the '01+ tail lights...they would make a killing!

 

there is a co in japan that does such job for ~$550 US$..

 

Hmm. I think they would set me back over $2000 to have them including custom, shipping and taxes
Will, I would like to to see those pictures soon

Fredric..give me few days...

 

that co in japan that does it , would it b $550.00 total or r other fees involved? and how long would they take with the lights?

 

whoo hoo... welcome Kudo... I saw some of your guys wearing the leather bombers at IAS a month ago. Nice jackets.. nonetheless.. welcome...

 

Kudo! Welcome to CL's! Just thought JP's is THE BEST b-kits you can get out there, or at least one of the companies from Japan would willing to do business with us here in the States. I was kinda disappointed to read somewhere on this forum that most JDM manufactures and vendors don't even car about the USDM, since they make enough money/YEN in Japan to keep them busy all year round. Is that true or I just got it all wrong? I myself am looking @ the Admiration B-kit for my 99' GS300, beautiful!!!!

Note: I was on JP's site, and it is very frustrating to understand what it says since like most of CL's Members, I don't know Japanese. Found this little site: http://www.systransoft.com/ where you can cut and paste Japanese text into its translation box, where it will translate Japanese to English. Work well if you just want to get a quick tranlastion of what JP's telling you on its site! To Moderators: The link is strictly for information purpose only, not commercial, I thought it would help for some CL's members to get by with their lack of japanese language like me.

Again, if Kudo is the rep. from JP's, man, aren't we all lucky! He now can help us all out with his expertise in JDM's products.
