Possible group buy for Evo 7 tails. Checking interest

I have a source in japan for getting evo 7 tails. I'm checking the demand to see if it is worth hosting a group buy. We would need about 15 people. Post here if interested, if i get enough interest i will post a new thread for the group buy in the private for sale/wanted forums. The cost would be between 325 and 375. Not positive on that yet.

That's still too steep for taillights IMHO...I cannot believe the tailights are that damn expensive. I don't really dig teh Altezza style taillights, but for that price, I will keep them. I have other things I NEED before I spend taht kind of money on taillights. What would we need as far as a group buy to get the price down to $200.00? I am sure you could get that many if the price was around there...

as sweet as it sounds, that will only happen in our dreams. the taillights are a OEM part from . the cost for a vendor is high as it is and they will make maybe $20-$30 on a set that they sell for $340 or so. that price was set by mitsu and with the currency exchange, you are looking at a bit more. there is almost ZERO markup on these and i know that for a fact. i think that $325 or so is a very good price and i also know that i paid a bit more for mine and i still say that it was my best mod.

It still kills me that put these tail lights on our cars... makes it look like a "boy's" car. The "normal" Evo VII lights mature the car a hell of a lot... but at the current price, there are other things much more important for the money.

Unfortunatly the current price is one of the best deals you can get on these oem lights. Sad but true, thats why i am just checking the interest on this to see if enough people want to do it. If you want to buy your own its going to cost over 400...

I would definitely be interested in the MR lights.

Anyone else?
