You don't have to join the group buy. You can pay full retail right now and I will ship them to you right away. I have them in stock.

Chuck, I see the web page now, thanks.

One question, it seems we are required to submit a certain amount of non-refundable money without really knowing what the final price "will be". It should be an easy thing to post how many orders you have received thus far. At least, this way we will now the most we will pay at the time of submittal with the possibility that the price will go down as additional orders are submitted. I hope you take my suggestion, I don't think I would order without having an idea of what I might pay..

Once your put down a deposit, your name will be posted on that group buy page. Just first name with last name initial for privacy purpose. If you want your full name or your rx8forum screen name to be posted on there, I will do so as well.

So you know so far I have ZERO people putting down the deposit.

If you are new to rotary, you probalby don't know about my company. Some of you might be worried but you can go to either www.rx7club.com or www.nopistons.com and do a search on Rotary Extreme. You will find out I have been hosting many successful group buys and people are happy with my product quality and service. Thank you.

Guys, could you please take this discussion to PMs? If you want to buy the clear indicators, that's great, but this discussion is really pushing the advertising boundaries. Please don't force me to close it. I've left it open as long as I could, but it's getting a little much now. I should have closed it to begin with, but I didn't notice as soon as I should have so I tried to give it a chance to die off, which it hasn't. And don't send me PMs complaining about this, as I am just following forum rules.

I have permission from Jason (owner of this forum). You can PM him to confirm. Thank you.

For those of you who is interested, please just go to my website or email me regarding this. Elara is just doing her job but I guess there is some miscommunication going on.

The thread is now closed. If you have any questions, direct them to the admin. Thanks.

Clear side markers for RX-8
 

Just picked up my black RX-8 last week and Im already on the prowl for mods. 1 of which is clear side marker lenses. I saw some on http://www.rotaryextreme.com/rx8index.html
for the astronomical price of $200 for the pair. Anybody know where I can pick a pair up for a reasonable price?

In addition, Im looking for an exhaust & headers for future purchasing. Any suggestions?

Welp, they corrected the price to 70 bucks a pair.

"corrected" only after we found out how much they are actually worth and how much other vendors are selling them for...we were told $200 was that price which is 3 times that price of $70 which is undoubtedly still a lot higher than they're actually worth...shady if you ask me...

GETTUM AT CORKSPORT...
 

$67.00!! SOUNDS FAIR TO ME.

THEY ACCEPT VISA, MC, AMEX, DISCOVER, OH AND... MONEY ORDERS AND CASHIERS CHECKS ARE OK TOO!:eek:

Double checking on sources
 

Where can you get the clear side marker kits? Do they come with the bulb (white bulbs) that burn yellow?

Re: GETTUM AT CORKSPORT...
 

gotta wait til September though, a whole month! i'm interested in these but i won't pay $193 for them:

Re: Double checking on sources
 

You could try stealth auto. You can also give the bulbs a light coat of spray paint. I'm not sure exactly how to do this, but have heard about it in a few forums.

clear side markers
 

Thanks for the link. $200 was just out of line.
On a similar note...
Anyone know what size bulbs are in the high beam housing and the other frosted light housing closest to the mazda emblem. Not sure how to describe this one. I cant seem to find the size anywhere.
I wanted to swap them out for some bright white bulbs so that when all the headlights are lit they look more uniform. The yellowish hallogens are lame next to the HIDs

$55-$70...NOW he tells us!
 

the chronology:

- they quote $200 per set
- they offer a group buy rate as low as $120/set depending on number of orders
- competitor offers sets for ~$85
- competitor receives orders for his first 20 sets yesterday. (with many more people showing interest)
- "original" retailer offers them for $55-70 (depending on number ordered) today

honest mistake or capitalism at work? whatever.

the consolation being that those of us who bought from "the competitor" will have our markers a few days from now whereas everyone else will be waiting for a bit.

*by the way, this is by no means a knock on rotary extreme. i don't know them and i'll most likely be ordering stuff from them in the future. i'm merely pointing out the chronology for those that don't know the history on this forum. after all...i was the first to start a thread about them. ;)

one more edit: u can expect this thread to be closed soon as the mods have already closed a few related to this topic that spun out of control into the abyss of self-promotion (read: advertising). ain't that right elara? ;)

Hey bubba, chill a bit. Look at the time of his post and look at the time of mine. All of 20 minutes. So I assumed he saw the price at 200, they noticed they put the wrong price up and changed it to the correct one, then when I stopped by to look at them saw the new price and though I'd let him know. I had until this point never heard nor commented on any thread dealing with this item.

Have a latte, relax.

i think perhaps we have a misunderstanding and it is you that needs to chill out as my post was in no way designed to redicule you nor your post but to state the fact that the vendor in question was trying to rip us off considerably, hence the quotews around "corrected"...i don't really care when you saw what or how as i wasn't even commenting on that whatsoever...we cool? ;)

FYI...
 

...NO ONE IN THE STATES WILL HAVE THESE CORNER MARKERS UNTIL END OF AUGUST AT BEST.

Re: FYI...
 

Why is that? We have one board member that paid full price ($200) and has had his for the last couple weeks. Others that have pre-ordered from jt-imports tentatively could have there's in a couple weeks as it sounds JT managed to get a few pair before the Japanese holidays. Anyway, we will find out soon enough.

I just received a $65 refund from Rotaryextreme.com. He stated that his Japanese supplier had given him a wrong price on the clear sidemarkers. The group buy price is $55 and the retail price is $70. I went ahead and purchased them at $70 to get them now. By the way, for the last week, I was the only deposit at $120 on his site.

CORRECTION...
 

WHAT I MEANT WAS NO ONE IN THE STATES WILL HAVE FER LESS THAN $120.00

JT-IMPORTS IS JAPAN.
ROTARY EXTREME WONT HAVEM TIL END OF AUGUST OR LATER EITHER.

Re: CORRECTION...
 

"Thank you for your payment and we expect them in tomorrow and they will ship
in 2 days, and shipping time is 4-8 days. "

that is the return email I got after I placed my order

Re: Re: CORRECTION...
 

Nope, I'm chill. Just seemed to me like I was the one getting reemed for defending the seller when I knew nothing about any previous issues with them.

I'm glad that you got a reasonable price. The reason you where the only one that pre-ordered through RotaryExtreme was due to their over the top pricing and their quote of "your non-refundable deposited of $120", which eluded to the possibility of paying more if insufficient pre-orders where generated. Anyway, they changed their tune quick and now have more realistic pricing.

For those of you who are bashing me here, I already explained it many times that it was my Japanese contact's mistake. I ordered those sidemarkers with the Mazdaspeed RX-8 bodykits and I was told they were Mazdaspeed parts. I don't live in Japan so I have no way of knowing. The car just came out in Japan 2 months ago so no one has any pricing. I had no pricing for reference until JT Imports is selling it and then I found out I might have paid too much and I did. The group buy prices I posted were instructed by my Japanese contact. He gave me the prices on how many I order and what kind of price break I get and I just followed it.

Everyone who have purchased them or have put down a deposit all got their refunds, even people who didn't know about this forum. They didn't even ask for refund but I just did it because I think it's the right thing to do.

It was my mistake for hurrying to get whatever JDM parts I can get so I can offer them to you. It's my mistake for not to wait until other people are selling them so I know if I am paying the right price.

Whatever the case is, no one got ripped off, especially those who did not purchase.

I have a good reputation among the rx7 people. Why don't you go to the rx7forum or nopistons and check it out yourself. Give me a reason why I want to ruin my reputation just over some clear sidemarkers so I will lose all the customers.

For those of you waiting to get your clear sidemarkers, I just paid $70 for one of four pairs in stock at rotaryextreme.com. They should be sending them out today. Sorry, I didn't feel like waiting for the group buy. Besides, I liked the rotaryextreme site better since it used paypal. I'll let you know when I get them.

Anyone got their clear blinkers yet
 

I ordered mine on monday and I was wondering if anyone has gotten theirs yet?

jt-imports uses paypal as well...FYI.

Ordered thru who and how much?

Thanks.

ordered with jt imports for 80.95 total

Ordered through Rotaryextreme. $70 including shipping.

mikeb, you can email Jason at jt-imports, but according to their website it will take 5-8 days from the time THEY ship them, not including any possible time it may take for them to get the part (assuming the have none in stock). I would give it a week.

planman, I'm sure Rotary Extreme has some that probably didn't sell the 1st time around, and they are in the US so you'll probably get them sooner assuming they have 'clear-corners' in stock.

Actually, just got a confirmation e-mail that they were mailed via US priority mail and should be here in 2-3 days. Looks like I'll be putting them on early next week. One of Chuck's e-mails stated he only has 3 more of them in stock.

i ordered from JT also. i asked how long it would take and he told me this on 8/5 at 4:07AM

"A lot of stuff comes into Cali and im getting them from Mazda tomorrow so I would say at the max 4-5 days"

so thats like 2-3 more days

Yeah I posted before on the old thread that was deleted. For WEST coast it usually takes 4-5 days, and EAST coast is usually 5-6 days, 8 days being the max. Sometimes is takes 8 in Canada and some places in the middle of no where in the states too.

JT

I ordered mine on monday and receoved them wed, installed them today, looks great! I got them for 70 at rotartyextreme

sounds good , post pics if u can

Did they come with installation instructions? I guess my main question is how to take the current yellow plastic marker off.

REMOVE OLD MARKER WITH...
 

...A SHORT BLUNT PHILLIPS HEAD DRIVER FOR THE PLASTIC SNAP-INS THAT SECURE THE WHEEL WELL LINING. MARKER ITSELF COMES OFF WITH A SMALLER PHILLIPS HEAD DRIVER. JUST ONE SCREW AND UNPLUG IT, AND IT'S OFF!

-RX-EVolved

so mine should be arriving in 1-2 days...?

What Im going to do is everyone will have a $10 discount off anything in JTs store. I would just paypal it, but you and I would lose some of it to PAYPAL.

So I figured this would be best.

The people getting them are are as follows..

Smith
Doctor
Noble
Earle
Huang
Chapman
Kee
Ortega
Carrillio
PC( you know)
Reichert
Johnson
Mackin
Pryor
Cordes
Ramas
Miller
Mutz
Barto
Marra
Cui Jr

Only one person didnt make it and Im sorry to say and they have been contacted already.

I would give tracking numbers here, but thats too much info.

I did check a couple of them and Im assuming since the Typhoon is attacking the main land right now, that maybe why they are all still here in Japan. We will call an see directly.

The rest of you good luck with your parts and depending on if your on the WEST or EAST coast will depend on when you get your parts. WEST usually 3-4 days, EAST 4-5 days. Inland away from the rest of the world is usually 6-8 days, and Canada is 4-6 days. Thanks it was a pleasure.

JT

wait so everyone that ordered is getting 10$ back?

and the clears havnt left japan yet?

Yeah I put it out on the last thread that got delted, I will give $10 discount on any item we sell since if I do it by PAYPAL I and U will lose some of it to PAYPAL.

They havent left Japan according the the tracking I assume because of the TYPHOON--We are checking

OK for a recap- I didnt have them in stock on the 4th, I said I ordered 20 sets then, and I hope I can get them by the 8th before Mazda Part centers go on vacation. I did just barely get them in time and picked them up packed them and shipped them all on the same day which was the 7th since we got a little lucky, because they are CLOSED the 8th. So its been only 1 day.

Nothing I can do or say when someone else has them in stock, some times they are some times they arent, just depends on what it is.

I know a few more companies put up the clear markers and prices I think after me, and they dont have them in stock either due to the Japanese HOLIDAY and the TYPHOON thats blowing down my house now hehe

JT

have u given the discount yet? cause i just checked my paypal and its not in there

PLEASE READ THIS, I think I have put this out 3 times now...

Yeah I put it out on the last thread that got delted, I will give $10 discount on any item we sell since if I do it by PAYPAL I and U will lose some of it to PAYPAL.

If you really want the money threw paypal I will do it, but you wont get $10 since they will take some.

This was from my last post too....

JT

o so your saying u dont want to send it thru paypal because they take some money. so what other ways can u send it?

thanks for the info jt -----I'm aka kee

tribal, pay attention! He's giving a $10 discount for a future purchase from their site. Geez.

Thanks JT!!!

JT, very respectable way to do business... thank you
