is it possible to get a gd running on these?

 

Why would you if you can make them yourself for next to nothing?

cause #1 my old ones are cracked, and #2 im not the sit down and figure out how to do something kinda person, i'ld rather pay.

 

...me too...i might be interested if a group deal would come about for them

 

Yeah I'm interested too, but I e-mailed Greg about it the other day and he said, "As far as the red/clear taillights we will probably not have a group deal because they are hard to make and due to their popularity it is difficult to keep them in stock. Having a group deal will only make that problem worse."

Sorry to burst you guys' bubbles, but it's gonna be $195 or DIY.

 

A few weeks back BenBlanco218 & Big_Ham had posts concerning the Red/Clear tails. Think BenBlanco218 is doing the exchange program, you send the unmodded tails & he'll send you the modded tails. Not
sure what Big_Ham was doing.

 

ASk sprint if hes interested in doing it

 

I received an email from greg tonight, he said if we get 10 people he can do them for $175 each. still negotiating w/ sprint. I'll let u guys know what i come up w/.

 

is that 175 shipped?

 

Correct me if I'm wrong, but part of the reason for Greg's price is the fact that the clear pieces are cut on expensive equipment.

Also, from what i understand, the hardest part of doing it yourself is cutting the plastic to fit perfectly.

So why not get a GD going on just the clear pieces by themselves? It's cheaper for us and easier for Greg - plus there are plenty of people who won't want to do it themselves so it doesn't hurt business.

 

I'd be in for this...wanna go the DIY route but don't have the tools to cut the clears.

 

Thats a damn good idea, but whos going to just sell those pieces and how much would you charge for cutting a $2-3 piece of plastic into little squarish pieces and then how much would u discount it for a group deal?

 

I assume if the cutting is done by a machine, it doesn't make a difference to the people who own the machine if you cut 10 or 1000 because it'll do it quickly and the raw materials are incredibly cheap. I'd be willing to pay as much as $20 for a pair if I could be certain they would look good and fit right. They could be sold on custommaxima if Greg wanted to do it that way. Whoever does it has potential for lots of profit because demand and margin is so high.

 

I will be happy to do a trade-in program for $60 shipped. You ship me your tails, I will clear them out with a perfectly cut piece and I will ship back to you via UPS and provide a tracking number. I would like to get 5-10 people to commit to this before we make it official because as I have found out, this can be very aggrivating.
I've been trying to get my hands on used tails for months now and have had little luck. Deals fall through, I've been burnt (sent money, no tails), and the main culprit has been people who don't ship properly and the tails break in shipment (this is where most of the aggrivation comes in). Please post here if a trade in program works for you. I realize this won't help everyone, but I can have the tails sent out the day after I receive them in most cases. If I get 5 pairs in on one day, some people may have to wait 2 days for me to send out, but they will certainly be sent out ASAP. Let me know guys, I'd love to be able to help.

 

Could I send you minds regardless of how many other people want to do it?. [/B][/QUOTE]

 

$175 shipped is the lowest i can get them. that is through sprint.

I guess I could. I was originally going to charge $75 plus shipping, but after all, it is Maxima.org. I have learned so much here, I might as well give some back. $60 shipped, and yes Regis, that's my final answer Please email me at joel@bigham.com to discuss addresses and such and once we're underway, I will have your tails back to you ASAP.

 

Yes!! Somebody please make the clear pieces!! I will pay good money for them! Seriously!!

 

even a template would be good - this is my fiancee and I's only car so I can't just take the tails off and mess with them all day but if I have the pieces already cut and I know they will fit right, that would be much easier...

 

Good idea...
