Hey guys, just want to let any prospective RB buyers out there that prices are definitely on the rise. I have been in contact with Venus for the past 3 months. I was originally quoted $2800 shipped to LA, and I was put on the waitlist. about a month later I called back to see if a clip had come in for me. They said they had called me but couldn't reach me, so my name was taken off the waitlist. When I told them that I need a clip ASAP, they put my name on top of the list and quoted me $3000 shipped, because their prices had gone up. Actually the price should have been $3200 shipped, but because I had been on the waitlist for so long, they gave it to me at this price. So finally after another month of waiting for another shipment, my clip came in. Sent in the money yesterday, so I should be getting it soon. Anyways, just wanted to give a heads up for those thinking about this swap. Get in quick before the prices skyrocket!!!!:ylsuper

well if it all works out, I doubt there will be more than 1 thousand RB swaps bein done in the next year so we got some time...lol and im sure there is ample supply in aus an jap. So i dont think the prices will go too much more. then people wont want to do it unless they got money to burn.

Man if I had seen this coming at the beginning of last year I'd have 20 of them ready to be pawned off. :/

Oh well.. be thankfull that it's still around 3000$. Compare it to what Honda enthusiasts get their complete swaps for...
