My friend just brought back my taillights from Japan. They are so simple for so much money. The taillights in Japan cost $335 U.S. dollars. Still very expensive. I'm assuming with shipping and handling included, Snook doesn't make much off the taillights. I am lucky to have a Japanese friend that goes to Japan every year. I will ask her to buy me some foglights next time. I guess it is all about being different from everyone else, however almost everyone on this forum has Jspec taillights, so I guess the concept of being different is blown out the door.

Then again, we are the few but Elite amongst the TL owners.

I will post pics of my car soon. My car looks pretty simple, but she is breath-taking to me. :eek

No to burst your bubble, but the JDM fogs don't fit a US front bumper. Ask Snook what a pain in the a$$ it was to get them to fit.

I thought Snook had the Odessey fogs? Maybe im wrong though.
But, the jspec fogs dont fit. You can look up a post by valuetl on why they dont fit. I think its in the installations part of the forum.
Maybe she can bring you back the whole front bumper?

Hahaha... it won't be so easy to bring a 6,000,000 yen Japanese sports car into US of A.

ARe you serious? The 02' TLs will have inspire tails? That freakin sucks... Oh well.

My friend bought the taillights from a Honda dealership in Tokyo. I'm not sure where, but she did buy them from a Honda dealership, the same place where she bought my friend the jspec Prelude foglights. Anyway, PhiTL, if you are going to Japan, the lights will run around $300 w/ the conversion rate. Not bad at all, because it cuts all the shipping and everything.
