6gc community,

Firstly, I tried contacting Coomer before I posted here, but with not hearing from him for a week, I am posting anyway (no hard feelings, I know he is super busy). “defgeph”, a moderator here has giving me permission to post, and will vouch for me.

The deal: If we can get 10 people together, we can get new JDM tails with harnesses shipped for $210. I’m tired of the crazy bidding wars on Ebay that final prices end up costing $275 shipped. The company is “Silviaparts” (website: http://www.silviaparts.com/store/ ).

The annoying part: After submitting payment, we will not receive them for approximately 2 months, this is due to the fact that they are out of stock and the supplier has given this ETA re-stock.

Also, A member here -- Batman722 has bought these ST205 Celica taillights from these people, and has had good results (both of his Celica’s have JDM tail bought from these people).

2.) ....etc....

If you are wanting very well priced JDM tails, and don’t mind waiting, put your name down! Please only put it down if you are serious, this is not a feeler.

EDIT: 10 posts down is the official group buy list.

I have ordered 2 sets from them in the past. They are EXCELLENT sellers and the shipping was extremely fast.

I bought the last set they had in stock a few weeks ago, I paid on a Monday or Tuesday, and recieved them on Thursday. WOW !!!!

For $210 shipped, that is an INCREDIBLE deal, I paid more for mine.

2 urbandork (y not in 2 months it will be summer weee)

I have got some pm's about what they look like, and to be sure, just as a reference--these are JDM tails:




(many members here have them, so I encourage you to go check out some rides ---> they really look awesome.)

Lets get some people committed...this list needs to get rollin'

I e-mailed them, and they got back in about 5 mins after i sent the email!

Few answers:

- $210 shipped is to anywhere in the US and Australia. Canada is $15 extra.

- Method of payment: Would have to be money order or wire tranfer. All Paypal payments will be charged a 3% fee.

- The price is very firm.

Okay, here it is:

This item is out of stock. They are also going to discontinue selling them very soon (so they will be not re-stock until there's confirmed demand with payment, i.e. this group buy). So, we’ll be paying them when we place our order. We will place our order when we have 10 pairs for our group buy.

Btw, these tails are plug and play, meaning --> bulbs, harness, everything!

Thank you.

These replace your current tails and the wiring, they are plug and play 100%.

just in case anyone doesn't know, I will explain how to put these on your car - with a pic

1 unbolt the old tails (3 10mm nuts - yellow arrows)
2 take off your inner hatch plastic (2 pins at upper corners (red arrow) and 3 plastic screw things on the bottom edge)



3 unplug you old tail light harnesses
4 remove the tails and wire harnesses completely
5 put new JDM tail in and plug in new harnesses.
6 put rear plastic back on

it seems a lot harder than it actaully is. Once you get your new JDM tails in your hands you will understand everything. It is super easy and can be done in about 10 minutes.

Okay, congrats to you people on the list! You now have some seriously awesome looking JDM tails in your future.

Here is the info on payment:

**note: If you live in CAN, you need to pay an extra $15 for s&h.

>>>> UPDATE <<<<
PLEASE READ WHOLE POST!

Firstly, The wait for the tails has also gone down to 4-6 weeks. That said, it is not a guarantee that you'll be getting them in that period, remember, this is only a rough estimate -- it could still be 2 months.

Okay, the 6 people who have paid via paypal will have their tails ordered very soon (tomorrow i believe). You will also have gotten an e-mail from the company about that sent to your paypal email address.

The tails will be placed in 2 waves. The first wave will be the 6 people who have already paid, and the second will be the remaining. Btw, if you get the payment to the company tonight, you will probably be put in the first wave, SO HURRY!

Also, after talking to the company, I'll be leaving this GB going for a little longer so more people can get on board if they want.

FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT PAID, PLEASE PAY ASAP.

ok thanks snap, But I have a doubt, if I pay for paypal ... and there is algun type of problem, that the seller defrauds us or another problem, I can´t my money recovers ? It is the only question that I still have for resolving, i am not sure 100 for 100 .... I say it for if I lose the money for any problem.

any luck on someone getting a set who just found out about the GB?

>

Tons of luck, the group buy is still open!

~snap

>
paypal is very good about stuff like that. I have dosputed a charge with paypal because the seller didn't send the items and I got all of my $$ back.

I bought 2 sets of tails from them before, first about 2 years ago from ebay and then a few weeks ago via email and paypal. They were great sellers to me, they responded rather quickly and shipping was impressive.

If I wanted another set of JDM tails, this is who I would buy from - especially at this price

>

I was going to get them from fensport.co.uk.
They have them for @115 each. So 230 plus shipping.
I'm trying to get them to confirm the shipping prices for me.
I'm also buying the full projector and clear headlight set. I figure buy them both from the same place.

But this is cheaper. When does this group buy end? How much time do I have?

>

Thank you batman, perfect explanation!

~snap


>

We do not have an ending time yet (the company will let me know when to end it, but as of right now, it will continue for a little while). Just keep an eye on this thread and you'll know.

~snap

Thank you for the explanations ... but I am a little afraid on the payment .. because does a little time pay an article and they defrauded me ... the seller went away with my money ..... this it is my only one problem...

nuevoo, I understand your concern. If you are worried, then wait until other members recieve their tails, then buy a set then.

This was a very good GB. Nice work Snap.

How many people in GB right now?? I like to get them too but no money right now....but if you say they will take the money some time in the summer then im in...

>

I doubt it will go that long, i guess it depends what time you call "summer".

^^If you see your screen name there, and have not paid, please do as soon as possible. I'm not trying to pressure anyone, just i feel the people that have paid in the 2nd round thus far should not be forced to wait...plus, why wait to get your tails

I have sent a pm to the people who have not paid --> that said, please email me if you have a payment problem, like needing to wait for the next paycheck...then we can working the timing out.

thanks,
snapshotgt
