NextLevel had his built by clear corners guy's and from what I have heard they run above $1,100 As much as I like LED tails, at the same time I don't after looking at the grand scheme of things.

clear corners wants a very shiny penny for everything they make. I think it is all very good looking and well built stuff, but expensive as all hell.

Even if you had a group buy of 20people with $100 marked off the final retail price. You still willing to pay $1,000 for tail lights!?

Default Like someone said in here before

I will buy a LCD TV with that $1000 and watch it a lot more than watch my $1000 LED tail lights.
Actually, I can not even look at it when I drive.
