more than likely will be buying via G88 - going to visit them on the weekend (they havent responded to my emails so far, so going to rock up and ask)

I think the problem/risk of going direct via japanparts with bulk order is the risk of paying import duties/taxes etc (due to value of order being over $1000)

Even individually it's cheaper through Japanparts. Got a quote with shipping of $787 total.

yep - it does work out cheaper if going individual. I tried an order of 5, and while the cost came out cheaper, the unknown bit was additional duties/taxes

I'm comfortable either way - just putting it out there if there were folks not comfortable to order via japanparts, then they have other local options

Wasn't G88 guaranteeing to beat japanparts and other online sellers at one point?

Oh crap... I didn't even know about this. How strict is the June 5th cut off date?

Their official Rakuten page says Jun 28th for first batch delivery.

Have to say, this looks absolutely delicious. me so want~~~
Not sure Mrs will be happy about forking out $800 though.


Did a little research, this was the prototype from back in Dec 2013.

can see the similar design trend compare to the Gen 6 Sedan front lights, especially the winker.
Good decision that they got rid of that orange triangle bit.

Thanks for the offer man, but can't do black head lights. besides this looks much cooler :wink:

Will probably go with it and pick the Chrome. I'll have to find a way to convince the Mrs. 8)

Ben (pips06) and I are looking at some more prices and suppliers - it will be in the range of $800 per pair (plus/minus up to $20 depending on supplier)

5th June is not overlay strict.... that date is there to get the ball moving for the folks prepared to move on this sooner

A definite yes/commitment is sought as soon as possible to firm up numbers, and we can sort out timing of deposits etc after that

Thanks Kevin - will put you on the list

G88 came back to me and mentioned that the parts wont be available for shipment for a few weeks (consistent with your June 28th date)

Will see what prices we can get.... will keep you posted

a bit inconvenient to make a trip there for me.
