Question about Winjet Headlights
 
EDIT: price used to be $135 due to a glitch it seems haha they just changed it to $400+ so whoever got it while it was 135, #swag (just kidding) but yeee, and you're welcome :D!
LOL ft86club putting carID out of business!

http://www.carid.com/2013-scion-fr-s...-17419755.html

Are these real? That's the price for a PAIR... There's no way that's right... Right? I keep seeing these for 400+ everywhere but there

carID..? Is it a good site lol? My friend told me to check it out and I found that... ��:eyebulge:

dad&sonFRS 03-09-2014 08:39 AM

Hi i was extremely curious about them also. I talked to two different representatives from carid, and they both confirmed that they were new headlights, that were plug and play. So even though the price seemed too good to be true, both reps said that they were brand new, so I ordered them a few days ago. They say they are set to ship out tomorrow. I will keep you posted on when i receive them.

Lol just ordered some, if it's that price maybe it's a glitch in their website and this deal won't last long, so took advantage, if it's not what I wanted I'll just return them lol

I know! But i figured they were a really good price and have proof of two conversations with reps that the headlights were brand new, so i hope everything goes by smoothly if i have to return them, which i really really hope i don't have to do lol

Midarete 03-09-2014 11:34 AM

Just asked them if it was the real deal. they said it was, no knockoffs or anything :\

Brianjoy77 03-09-2014 11:52 AM

I just bought some on Bill Me Later. Bought the chrome with intent to paint like the stock Gt86 lights.

I'll let you guys know what happens. $161 total with shipping hahaha

jflogerzi 03-09-2014 11:53 AM

Wow 176 $ for both. I think they are wrong. But if you get a pair please post back. I would order some at that price

Just received email notice my order has been processed and will ship Wednesday. I'm still not convinced this is going to go through without any additional money but it's looking good so far.

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

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..!

wrohdejr 03-09-2014 05:21 PM

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!
