Q45 owners... hypothetical question

[AZhitman]

If someone "were" able to get us the chrome B-pillars (as seen on the JDM Q45 and President), what would a set be worth to you guys?

Just gauging some interest here....

[1992Q45A]

Are you talking about getting the ones seen on the yahoo jp auctions, or having them reproduced.

My answer is yes regardless.

I was actually pleased with the shipping costs for the yahoo jp auctions stuff i got.. Only 75 dollars in shipping fees, and I have a huge box coming..

The plates on the yahoo jp auctions are $250 for both, If I remember correctly...

[rsiwicki]

no interest here

Ryan....find Greg and I some clear side markers from yahoo japan. I can't find them anywhere on the auction site anymore. I will gladly pay you a finders fee

[AZhitman]

Ditto.

Actually, I didn't find the pillars, but a company that will plate them for a fee if I can get several pieces.

I'm eager to see how they turn out.

[elwesso]

I dont know, i probably wouldnt be interested, but if I were i wouldnt pay more than $50

[1992Q45A]

I was checking out where the pillars would go on my 94.. the pillar between the front/rear has some discoloration.

I guess it all depends on price. I'm interested, any idea on a price figure?

[1992Q45A]

Clear side markers arn't a problem.

[AZhitman]

Maybe a swap?

[Mark86T]

Clear side markers arn't a problem.

I hate to be off topic here, but I'd interested in clear side marker lens as well.

[1992Q45A]

Simple.

Hitman, any idea on price ranges for the chrome pillar set?

[maxnix]

You know, I think Infiniti got this right the first time, especially when the car has the Hüper Optik Stark 30 treatment. The chrome would look seriously tacky.

[elwesso]

Agreed, IMHO it wouldnt be any different than having chrome fender trim.....

[SFBayQ45]

The chrome B-pillars wouldn't look right w/o the addition of the chrome side mirrors and chrome wheel wells. If you're going to go chrome, go chrome all the way.

[maxnix]

Chromed headlights too, mang!

[1992Q45A]

You guys are nuts.. It doesn't look tacky at all.. Take a look at a JAG, and tell me if the chrome pillar trim looks tacky.. it comes stock on all XJs..

All it does is add chrome to the two pillars on driver/passanger side.. It's relatively small strip of chrome, very subtle...

Comparing it to the chrome wheel flare trim is nuts.

[1992Q45A]

Wes,

post up a pic, so everyone can see it, before making a judgement.

[AZhitman]

I agree that the mirrors are critical, but it's NOWHERE near chrome wheelwell trim.

Nasty.

[Jeff Williams]

I want the clear markers, if you haven't already heard.

I can paypal the money, any time, just tell me how much, and where to send it.

Me too! Unless they cost waaaaaaaay too much.

[Jeff Williams]

The clear side marker lenses should be about $50 for the kit, that is, if they were for a Honda.

Since there are a LOT fewer 90-96 Q45's out there, it is probably closer to $100, or even more.

Still cheaper than OEM, I'm sure.

Hey, Greg, why don't you find these on those Japanese Auction sites, and add them to the BRM line-up? I am sure clear side marker lights will add 10-15% more HP, than a NICO sticker!

[AZhitman]

Well, I planned to leave that to Ryan - He's apparently got the hookup for all the JDM goods and a shipper, so I'll let him respond.

Hopefully they'll be more affordable than that.

[1992Q45A]

I'm going to get them off parted out JDM q45s.. I hope they are cheaper then that.

[Mark86T]

I would love to get a set. Keep me informed. I'm ready to buy.
