I went there and to get the lights and corners they want $20 for UPS shipping. No way I am paying that. Thank you all!

I just received my corners from southwestautoworks.com Delivered price was $80 for 4 corners and 2 red Polarg bulbs for the rears. Not cheap, but better than Courtesy. Alex at Southwest is great to work with.

But think about it. You cannot honestly tell me that it costs $8 to ship 4 little light bulbs. You can ship a letter that weighs the same for $.37!

I just received my Clear corners from Custom Maxima (front only). They look great. Paid $16 for shipping. Still waiting for the M4 Polarg bulbs. Greg advised that they were on backorder and they received a new shipment a few days ago.....

$.37 is for the carriage of the letter by the USPS. The envelope is not free, the paper the letter is written on is not free, etc.

So to with the aforementioned handling...the box, packing material, time, etc. are not without cost.

If they get a more effecient inventory system and a better management team, maybe they can cut back the handling charge.

That must have been a while ago no? They are often out of stock on the front ones for some reason.

Procarparts.com has them and from time to time offers them on Ebay. I had two bids just yesterday for F & R clears at $21/$22. Some a$$hole outbidded me in the last 3 seconds to 'steal' them from me. Funny thing about is it must've been another 5th gen owner stealing from this 5th gen owner!

I dont care what anyone says it does not cost $7 to ship four tiny bulbs. I can ship them including the packaging for under $2.50. That site is making mad cash on shipping. And they are unwilling to negoiate price on it. I talked to Raney about shipping nd he knocked off $3 for MF's. Heheheh just realized I think hes from the autopia fourm LOL. THATS CUSTOMER SERVICE!

No, I didnt get the ones from Genexla since I am not familiar with them. I hear of moisture complaints and didnt find anyone who got them from genex...I am waiting for carparts to offer them again. $62 is a bit much for those lights though. I say $50 tops
