Whre to buy?

I called Vivid and the front page says $379, but they told me 199 for each side. Is there any other place to buy them? I looked on Ebay, but couldn't find any. Maybe I'm just putting in the worng search or something. What you guys type in?

On his secondary title line he mentions Evo VII tails....

I got mine from leo@jdmspecperf.com

Last time I talked to him, he also had a whole rear Evo trunklid and wing from an Evo VII. So if you wanted that Evo VII look, but didn't want to mod your current trunklid, that would rawk.

Sorry, I thought the secondary would show up where I put Evo 7 tails on it.

Secret chimp, I emailed him so I guess I'll find out something later. How was the quality on them? Were they used or brand new? If used, could you tell with scratches and scuffs?

I bought a used set from him. They look great!

The only imperfection on them is in the corner of one of the lenses...there is a scratch that occurred during shipping. It's small and no one will ever notice.

But with used stuff, it's always good to get some good close pics of what you are paying for....before sending money. Becuse these parts are coming from mostly wrecked Evo's in Japanese junkyards...

Thanks fellas. I'll try all these places.

I could understand if the tails form Vivid were brand new, but I'm guessing they are used as well?

Thanks guys! I checked the search "jdm evo" and there wasn't any on there for sale as of right now. I guess I'll keep an eye out or something.

I emailed all the guys on here to see if they have any in stock and what thier prices were so I guess when I get some replies I'll figure out where to buy them from. I just don't want to pay for these tails and be damamged and as not in good of shape as my stock ones.

Why are you guessing that they are used? I got mine form Vivid when they had the group buy going on ($355 shipped for L&R). They were brand spankin'n new in original packing with all hardware included. I got mine 2 days after payment.

Lastly, Vivid was still cool enough to go through their group buy even though they were short on the target of 20 people!
