Do a little research on the company before you purchase if you feel that its sketchy. All I'm gonna say is gl guys.

problem with websites like that is only the consumers that are pissed go to sites like that to review them. barely any happy consumers will go to a site like that or any site and review them happily. most people are too lazy to review haha only angry customers send in reviews.

other than that only reason i checked out the site was because my friend bought a short ram intake for his g35 and was surprised at the price too and he ttold me to check it out. still waiting on someone to get these lights. keep me updated! :D

I think anyone who bought it in this thread have an estimated ship date of 3/12/14 they are based in jersey and I'm in NY so it should be here pretty fast if it actually ships on the 12th

I've heard of this site before. Rest of the products are normal prices. Major discount on those winjets

everyone has "pissed customers" - just saying


if it's too good to be true, it probably is.. but I really think that these head lights cost about $100 & that the price isn't a mistake

Time to create a rant thread about the rest of the vendors marking them up for an extra 300$ Lmao!

My brother owns a 2013 R35 GT-R, trust me, just be thankful at how "reasonable" pricing is for our platform, most cat-backs with his GT-R start at 3k+ and I believe some are priced at nearly 10k.. Hahah

Yeah that is a complete joke. I would 100% have a custom exhaust made by a shop and it would cost you maybe $1k at the very maximum.


The platform is not that cheap. It is cheap compared to other high performance cars, but you stack it up against any non performance car and you realize how stupid prices can get.

it's all relative. expensive car = people willing to spend more money

Yeah, he will be taking the custom exhaust route, only downfall is the closest "reputable" custom exhaust shop is 6 hours away, but still won't end up being 10k in gas to get there LMAO.

Yeah, I will agree some parts for the 86 platform are expensive, but they're relatively reasonable for the most part. I mean this isn't a civic where you can go on ebay and buy a full turbo kit for 1500-2500$ lmao.

I'm really curious to see if this was a glitch for the winjet lights or if its the real deal, I was about to pull the trigger on a set here in Canada for 630$ tax in, but I'll be waiting to see results here! I would buy them right now, but in the off chance there is some sort of confusion, I don't want to have to deal with duty fees/brokerage fees and a return..!

How much you want to bet some entered the wrong price on their website or data sheet. I bet it was suppose to be 435 but they typed 135!

Possibly, but if they're a company with good customer service, they'll still let the ones go that were purchased before they noticed the mistake :P

Dan let look it a this way you spend 100 dollars drinking and don't get a refund for been drunk so at least you can work your refund if something happens to the headlight lol
