New RA tail lights

I dont know if this is actually new but I have not seen them on RRM website before and wanted to share with you guys

http://www.roadracemotorsports.com/s...roducts_id=548

So what do you guys think about those tail-lights? Would you buy those or keep our stock tail lights? Just wanted to hear your thoughts on this product.

old news, these taillights have been out for a while / have been in the talks of production for about a year now.

on a nother note im sure you can find a nice lancer or evo x owner to give you 150-200 for your RA tails then you can buy these.

I actually like them. I see this style more on the import lux cars like the Lexus. It depends on what look you are aiming for with your Lancer. I wouldn't mind grabbing a set of these, IMO.

lol RRM always is the first to take something new and over charge for it..they want 329 and you can get them for 280 shipped..thats why i would NEVER buy anything from that company..i understand its a business but they lie to their customers in order to make a sale and put insane markups on everything..like the TIEN springs that are 260.. i got them for 199 shipped..

EVERY business works like that; they have to make money out of what they sell; you can't pretend they're going to get the springs for 199 and sell them for 199... They also have to set a high markup price to be able to offer lower prices or deals and still make some money. I own a business and have to constantly deal with customers with your attitude; I let those go out the door the second they're start complaining

Regarding the taillights, they have this ricey look that I cant bare to look at for some reason

i own a business and work for one too, thats NOT how you do it..if you own a Mazda dealership and you sell your MS3 for 26k because you want to "make money" and the MS3 originally costs 21 that the dealer pays..and other people are selling the exact same cars for 22 23, who do you think the average consumer is gonna go to? with the economy now days people are gonna shop around and find the best prices, hence to why wheeldude and its replica wheels are doing so well now days. so if you overcharge and never offer discounts (which RRM dosent ive been around long enough to notice that) your not gonna sell.. like honestly wouldnt anyone buy their RA tails that cost 340-350 when you can search around and find it for 280-300? exact same product exact same quality.
