$1350 for a $230 light, (and we all know it costs about $3.00 to make) is just and props to those who anted up for the JP lights.
Actually Mike, $230 would be a slamming deal on the 01+ 2GS tails. They are closer to 300ish. And the JP tails definitely do not cost $3 to make. It is actually pretty involved to make it with the quality that it has. Now, whether or not they are worth $1350 is a different debate and only each individual can answer that for themselves.

As for the LuxuryMods tails, I would wish that they are the same quality as the JP ones but I am not holding my breath. I like them but at that price point, I will have to wait and see. We already know that the components are not OEM whereas the JP ones are. Even with these issues, I will keep that in mind when they come out. If they are good enough, I will have no problems with choosing them over JP. I know there will be compromises but let's see if they are compromises I can live with.

i know you are joking but that would never happen

its nice to see after all this time that someone finally listened and created clear tails for the GS

but the reason people even wanted clear tails was because of how cleaned the JP tails looked

when i look at these i dont get the same feeling i got when i saw the JP ones for the first time

if LM makes the clear section bettter ..JP comparable ...then i could give a

but no matter what the price these sell for i just dont think these will flow as nicely as the JP ones

but we will see ......

I agree completely...although I am very excited to see the final result, quality is a MUST. I'm not willing to turn my GS in to a Honda. As long as the quality of the final product is high and the look is correct (clearer clear section, glossy red section, and good LED pattern), then I am definitely in.

LEO: are you the guy i saw driving on the 605N a month ago? I swear i seen this taillights before. The guy (asian) who i saw was driving a silver GS on the 605N carpoool lane. with a gurl on the passenger side , i was on the fast lane and traffic was sorta bad and we were side by side for a good 15 to 20 minutes. I'm wondering if that was you.

We would probably project these to be in full production within 4 months. Please sit tight fellow CL Members. These will definitely be worth the wait
Hey, LuxuryMods you got my vote, please start the mass produce. $300 to $400 isn't bad at all.
