Just wondering if anyone would be interested in some prelude group buys?

If there are any products you think you might want, post it here. I can hook something up if we have a few buying at one time.

Mr. LuDe - April 26, 2003 11:12 PM (GMT)
not sure if there are a lot of people with 5th gen ludes
but i think a group buy for jdm fog lights would be great. :)

prelude97 - April 27, 2003 02:57 AM (GMT)
hahaha man thatd be GREAT. i was gonna suggest that awhile ago but if didnt know if it was even worth mentioning.

ludemonkey - April 27, 2003 06:25 AM (GMT)
do it man... 5th gen fog lights are sweet ass....

(mo.. edit this for me.. im drunk)

slo_mo - April 27, 2003 11:19 PM (GMT)
I can try to see about the JDM fogs. They're getting hard to find due to them being discontinued. I'll see what i can find if there are a few guys interested

I'd love to see more 5th gens in the city with them...they look crazy pimp

prelude97 - April 28, 2003 02:15 AM (GMT)
I talked to a guy from a BC store named pole position products. They sell JDM fogs for $420... which is already a good price. Anyways, he said he'd be interested in a group buy but he wouldnt be able to drop the price that much.

slo_mo - April 28, 2003 02:23 AM (GMT)
yea, howard from pole position. He's located in Calgary. that's one of the places i was going to contact. i still have another place to check

Mr. LuDe - April 28, 2003 02:24 AM (GMT)
i thought pole position products was from ontario? :unsure:
yeah i was thinking of buying a set from them but decided to look
for a used set. 420 is crazy expensive for fog lights! but if it makes my car sexier i'll buy them ;)

hey prelude97, did he give you a price for a group buy?

slo_mo - April 28, 2003 02:30 AM (GMT)
JDM fog lights are pimp...that's why i got them too.

you guys can be like me, we can all pimp the jdm fogs

prelude97 - April 28, 2003 03:51 AM (GMT)
my bad... i got them confused with someone from bc. I asked him for a group buy price for anywhere from 4-7 people. He hasnt replied yet.. I'll let you guys know when he does. But yea I agree, I wanted to find a set used too.. but they usually go for 350-400 anyways and they go FAST so i've had no luck.

ludemonkey - April 28, 2003 07:48 PM (GMT)
hey mo.. can u think of any groupbuys there might be for 4th gens...

they dont have any for JDM one-piece headlights do they? :P

prelude97 - April 28, 2003 07:58 PM (GMT)
I got the prices from Howard.

"For 4 - 7 guys, $405 CAD each + shipping + 7% GST. Shipping will be $25
CAD each, unless I can ship them to one address. Then for 4 - 7 it will
be $50 CAD."

I'm guessing we would get them shipped to one address... so it'd be roughly 10 bucks per person for shipping.

405+28.35+10= $443.35 give or take a few bucks for brand new JDM fogs. I'd say thats a pretty good deal. I'm not sure if we'd be able to get him to lower it a few more bucks or not.

Anyways.. I'd be interested but not for a month or two, i've got other priorities right now.

Mr. LuDe - April 29, 2003 05:23 AM (GMT)
$443.35 ?!?!?
oh man i'm gonna have to sell a kidney!
how much do kidneys go on the black market now a days? :D

greenz00 - April 30, 2003 03:20 AM (GMT)
why sell your kidney, when you can donate it to a poor little boy or girl ;)

lude4life - April 30, 2003 05:17 PM (GMT)
Hey,
I dunno if any of you have heard of the forum www.preludepower.com or currently go on that forum, but there is a bunch of guys trying to set up a group buy for these foglights out of chicago. They're talking about 250-260 dollars american shipped. Right now i'm finding out exactly what it would cost extra to ship them to canada, but the guy doing it said he was gonna talk to them about that for me. Thats about 375-390 shipped.

i dont wanna get stuck with duties and what not... but ya find out.

Mr. LuDe - April 30, 2003 06:40 PM (GMT)
yeah that sounds like a much better deal :)
if you can get the person to send it as a regular package
you wont have to pay for duty fees. is that rite?

Mr. LuDe - May 1, 2003 02:30 AM (GMT)
hey man register :D

my mistake....pole position is located in southern alberta. Calgary most likely

ludemonkey - May 1, 2003 02:47 AM (GMT)
as much as i like guest posting.. i think im gonna turn it off except for in the Site problems forum :P

ill be going to calgary in 3 weeks if anybody wants something from there :)

lude4life - May 1, 2003 04:20 AM (GMT)
Yeah i'm gonna work on that duties thing. One of the guys off of Winnipeg heights bought his H22 motor from down in california a few weeks ago and avoided paying all the taxes by shipping the motor to fargo or grand forks (can't remember which one) and then went down there and picked it up himself. He said he just talked to the customs agent ahead of time and arranged it all. So if this would work for the fog's maybe a couple of us could make a small road trip and head down into the good ole US of A and pick them up.

You still have to pay tax on stuff if you pick it up in the states. The only way to avoid tax is to not claim the item (ie. smuggling = illegal).

Be very careful with joining gb's that are organized far away by people you don't know. It's very easy to get scammed and when it seems too good to be true...it often is.

Pole position is a great vendor and I would endorse them 110%.

slo_mo - May 7, 2003 09:18 PM (GMT)
I saw that howard is now selling the 5th gen jdm fogs for 290us. it's a nice price seeing as the cdn dollar is getting stronger. You guys should organize somthing with him and maybe even get the price lower and also save on shipping.

prelude97 - May 8, 2003 07:05 PM (GMT)
only problem is.. he says it'll take ATLEAST 4-5 weeks to get them in. I dont know anymore.. Im gonna spend my cash on something else.

Mr. LuDe - May 24, 2003 10:34 PM (GMT)
I really dont think anything is happening now.
Try contacting other members to see if they're still interested.

ludemonkey - May 25, 2003 02:06 AM (GMT)

Mr. LuDe - May 25, 2003 03:34 AM (GMT)
yeah they are :pimp:

hey you find any jdm headlights yet? you want the black housing ones rite?

ludemonkey - May 25, 2003 03:45 AM (GMT)
