so i just had to vent a little bit, but whats up with legit jdm tails nowadays.. did anyone else notice that a 100% increase in the price of these?! since october the price has risen about 150 dollars (price quote of 380).. ok well its more like 50% but im certain the price has risen more previously and this is only 5 months i know the economy sucks and it could be that the american dollar suck but really?!?!

 

do what i am going to do........ paint them when the weather changes.


STevo

 

beehh.. was going with jdm 8s, i know there are those amber overlays but i cant do that for peace of mind lol.. i got replica jdm 9s but returning them cos i cant stand know that its fake

 

Z1 Auto used to sell the JDM Head lights and Tail lights.. like 3 months ago for 1050 shipped! now it is almost 1400 shipped for the pair.. I'm ticked!!!

 

what do you expect u.s. currency sucks ***** compared to the yen so every jdm part is going up or has gone up already.

 

Yen to Dollar rate is basically at an all time sucking low point............

And in Japan many item prices went up.........if it did not, then the discount level changes to less %, so all in all, that equals to higher consumer prices, especially things being exported out of there..............

Then raw material itself went up also in price.......so all across the board it......
SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Fork up the dough, paint them yourself or send them off to Evodave.

 

haha i feel the same way

 

I wanted to go the Evodave route cause his work is amazing but have had a hell of a time keeping contact with that guy....must be busy

 

I have homemades, no complaints...

 

We've had to adjust our pricing slightly to accommodate for the poor exchange rates, as well as increased shipping costs (international). However, the pricing is still somewhat agreeable. Hopefully we'll see some pricing decreases now that things are starting to stabilize, slightly.

 

hmm look like we have only one choice "wait"

 

most likely its cuz our economy sucks, but i noticed that anything that was considered jdm always had a higher price for some weird reason, but my evo already had evo 7 jdm taillights when i bought it

 

i wish i can wait to get new tails until the economy picks up, but think i have to take the plunge on them.. comeon 500 for a set of tailights?! my first set new was 280 i believe 3 years ago.. ahh the good ol days

 

just keep looking at the classified section on here and other places plus ask around. I know a lot of people including myself who have gotten the tails for a good deal. The headlights are another story.... which is why I did them myself.
