Rominl is right. They have been around for about 10 years or so now. People still want to buy their products. For them is about being exclusive, not about the quanity of who has it. There isn't much room for mark-up for the clear tail lights anyways. I SERIOUSLY doubt they will lower the price on tails, their costs alone is way too high, there is no margin for anyone at all including Junction Produce.

retail price here in the US? 1350.00 for a set of the Junction Produce tail lights.

To be honest with you, I just use Step 1 from the Meguiairs line, I think its the paint cleaner or something like that! It sounds funny and people at the carwash look at me like i'm crazy, but whatever I do to my paint, I do to my lenses!(polish, detail, etc) And if I dont do anything to the paint, then I hit the lenses with some Meguiairs Quick Wax!

Trust me it makes a diff!

Also congrats on the new wheels man, your car is coming along nicely, your BMW must be feeling REALLY neglected these days

hey thanks! step 1 from maguires..here i come. Yes, the bimmer is feeling rather stock right now. but my gf drives that car...and she doesnt care about anything except that it goes from point a to point b. However, she did rear end someone last week

However, man it handles so nice. everytime i drive it it is so smooth. Not to diss the gs. I love drivin with the steptronic. Too bad bimmers dont have as good a reliability...

Thanks for the compliments on the car too...im enjoyin every minute of it!
