I need to get an idea of who wants clear side markers. Also, what would you consider a fair price for them. Remember they are being shipped from Japan, so factor in international shipping.

There will be no group buy discount, or shipping discount. At the most I can have them all shipped at the same time, so that will save money shipping.

I need to know who wants them, and what you want to pay MAX. I am not profiting off these, but I need to know what people expect to pay, because I have no idea what a fair price is, and I want to know before I start hunting them down.

I think I'd probably bow out at $50 shipped.

Can someone post a pic as to what exactly clear side markers are? Or just describe them to me.

Nick = stupid :)

Correct!

The stock ones are two oragne, in the front bumper, and two red, in teh rear bumper. These are clear lenses, with colored bulbs, so they will be legal.

I think they come in a single kit, for all 4, but I am not sure. I got this picture off of Q45Racing.com

Ok. I have to pay for my current order this weekend, after that I will begin to see what is available, and cost.

If we get them all together, you guys should each put away 20 or so each for international shipping. Then we can all pool the costs of shipping.

Ok, I'll let you know what I find out.

I'm not ordering a bunch and selling them, whatever is ordered will be indictivate of exactly what the demand is. If I can find them from one source, that would be great and cheap.

Hopefully we can get enough and divide all the costs (parts/shipping/commision) evenly, to make it cheap for everyone.

I would pay that much also, IMO the red rear bumper marker is nice as is, just the front bumper marker is needed, or does it fit vice versa?I would pay even higher amount for the clear marker in the picture attached.

That's the spirit. I doubt I will be able to find one source to get them all for, so they will probably have slighty different prices. I'm just going to pool all the costs, and split them between the people who want them..

These won't get us in trouble with the man, will they? Cops hate clear corners, do side markers apply?

I don't care what the cops think of it. My windows are tinted too dark & my stereo can easily be hear from over 75 feet. Both ticketable offenses. They don't bother with that stuff here in Vegas.

Ryan, do you have any links to auctions for clear side markers? Satoshi said it would help him in his search.

Mini,

There are usually none available. My battle plan was this:

There are a ton of parted out Q45s on yahoo jp auctions. I was going to get the clear side markers from these parted out Q's.. Add up all the costs, split among the people who want them.

Hrrmm... you're saying that Jap Q45s came from the factory with clear side markers? In the pictures I have of Jap Qs only a few have clear side markers, the rest are colored. From what I can tell, the fronts are half orange, half clear while the rear's are a solid red. Compared to a USDM Q the only difference is the fronts as far as I can tell. The USDM front side markers are a solid orange instead of half orange, half clear...

Hopefully I'm wrong...

Maybe that isn't the best plan.

What about contacting IMPUL JP or another shop about this?

Satoshi should be able to do that, however it'd be nice to find who makes the kit so he doesn't have to search through a boatload of japanese companies just to find them... maybe the chaps at Q45racing would know?

Actually, Junction Produce in Japan have these clear markers. However, they are so expensive! (about $260 USD). If we can find cheaper ones out there, it would be GOLDEN! (sorry wes :D )VIP Tuning is US dealer for Junction Produce items, wonder how much they would charge for the clear markers :confused: http://viptuning.com/

GAH... Junction Produce charges through the ROOF for everything they make. I still never would've guessed that much. I'll be keeping an eye out though.
