$400 CND for clear APC tail lights!!!
I just ordered my clear APC tail lights for my '95 Max from NOPI. After shipping, and tax it came to $403.88 CDN(~260 USD), and I still have to paint them! I can't possibly imagine complaining about spending ~175 USD for painted APC lights from DavidL. Anyone else order their APC tail lights from NOPI? What did it cost you? $400 is a "little"
steep, but I just couldn't stand looking at those ugly orange lights anymore.

Move to the USA...the lights are cheaper here.
Actually APC is expensive but its actually the tax and shipping that killed you. Next time your better off having someone in the States buy it and send it to you direct.

My thoughts exactly, too bad I don't know anyone in the US though. BTW when did your Jag arrive? Looks good!

Seriously, this is one of the 100+ features that I will never use. It actually came with an instruction video to learn all the features. Next time you need US parts, e-mail me, I'd be happy to buy and ship them to you directly.Erik

Gift will still result in sales tax up here, and on acouple hundred dollars, it'll still work out to be something like $50 bucks extra.
Best thing to do is to make a friend right across the boarder, and drive down to get em, if you leave near there. I did it for my stillen kit, and it saved me afew hundred
.. driving over the boarder with only tape holding it to the car is a bit scary though
