4DR SEDAN CIVIC TAILLIGHT - JDM HYBRID - Where to get it?

So far, I'm offered $329.09 Shipped EMS from a Japan dealer. That's a bit pricey. Anyone know a better way to get this?

Do the taillights really weigh 7kg - about 14lbs??! The shipping charge is about $75 for me..

DogstyleEX made us wait about a month or two and never responded until we all gave up. He has similar ones, but clearly white on bottom. He offered $217.. I think it was... but said it'll be more and he's too busy with school.

A dealer in Japan told me that the JDM Hybrid tails might not fit the Civic Sedan here in the states. I would make sure they fit before you buy.

He has a US number plate and has the JDM taillights.

Did you try Philippines, they have lots of JDM parts there, it could be made in Japan or Taiwan if you want a bit cheaper... Or try to e-mail Honda Dealers there and ask for a quote...Thats all.[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Guys, I spoke with two dealers - 1 from Hong Kong, 1 from Japan. They both offered around
$250 for the taillights and another $50-$75 for shipping.

So if you want the lights, it's going to be around $300-$325.

I am totally on this one if we can get them for around 300, that is an excellent price. My bets are with a group buy it would be a bit lower too since we would be saving a LOT on shipping. Definitely put my name on teh list for a group buy on these JDM tails... One thing i dont know if its been said or not, search didnt come up with anything, but is teh wire rail cover different on teh JDM version? If so does anyone have pics of it? And also where can they be purchased?

I asked the guy for discount if I did a groupbuy.. but he said there's already a 10% discount.
I figured, even if I get it shipped from Japan and ship it out to everyone.. it won't be that much of a save.
I just ordered mine for $329.09 including EMS shipping.

This guy - was quoting me $300 including ship. I just went with Japanese dealer...
