He would have had to presell 300 lights @$300 to get it done.. too bad I would have wanted some, but wouldn't want to throw out $300 and hope I get some tail lights sometime

It's very hard to get them, and when you do find someone, they want at least $400 for them.

No its more to it than just walking over and getting them... paying people to find them and then they have to buy them. Then they ship them here for a rip off price and then 100 people say they will buy them and ask for more pictures of 2 tail lights and then 99.9% of them don't have the money for them in the first place

Hello Chad !....( ProjectCamaro )

Your posting right under me and you didn't notice ?.... ( contacted by someone )

You were contacted by me....LOL !....

Remember, I sold you your " Export Tail-Lights "....( by the way, they look great on your car )....


....................Everyone should keep in mind....................

Export Tail-Lights DO NOT go down in value....Exports are better than money in the bank !....

Buy them and if you ever sell your car....Reinstall your original lights and sell your exports for more than you paid for them !....





....................As posted above....................

Wow, I'm slow!

My transaction with PSJ was very smooth. When he shipped the taillights he wrapped them in bubble wrap, put them in a box, put that box in a bigger box with peanuts. I couldn't believe how far he went to make sure my taillights would come in good condition. Above that he emailed me the tracking number and he even emailed me when he thought there was a problem with shipping to make sure everything was ok.

YOU CAN'T BUY FROM A BETTER GUY...PERIOD!!!!

Thanks again PSJ!!

I think I would rather have $$$ in the bank, as apposed to Export Tail Lights.
Maybe I'm old school, but plastic simply is not valuable to me.

I do not care what shape it is molded into, plastic is f*cking plastic!

I lile 'em, but on a red car they don't seem to stand out much. I can't believe APC ro somebody hasn't realized the desire for these and made them? Seems to me they'd be easier to make than the double carbon whiz bang euro simulated altezza junks....
