Hey guys,

Sorry for the late response.. was pretty busy at work today... Anyhow... I'm waiting to hear back from the supplier about the GB, but I've stressed that I have 7 confirmed buyers. So I'll know more a little later this evening.

Jfoofoo - If you want in let me know, we can accomodate as we have one buyer leaving... I know that you might want to pick up the hid's... but consider that w/ a gb you're getting a group discount. There'll be more in the future, but depending on the level of participants it may or may not go through....

YamilR - Shame on you...

1. You never responded to my PM's
2. In the yarisowners forum you said "Well guys my Yaris bit the dust yesterday, good thing we have the lemon law in Fl. A piston rod came out flying thru the fender, but Im waiting for a new one", so as far as I'm concerned one's on the way so you should stick to your word.

I'm still waiting to hear back from pinstarz and teruyume... I'm going to send off another reminder pm/email a little later.. In the meantime thanks to those who have paid, and please be patient as I finalize this GB.

Sounds good riceboy.

Thanks for following up and keeping all of us informed.

Awaiting any new developments.

In the mean time, some of you need to stop drooling about JDM tails and take the plunge!

I'll be patiently awaiting all of the Christmas GB's.

All I have to say is: It's incredibly lame to back out on a commitment like this.

[bigsky2]

riceboy,

What's the status on Pinstarz and teruyume?

Good luck!

It's still not too late to get in!!

[GabL]

Some inform on how to swap the stock taillight to JDM RS taillight (for those who can read Japanese), pretty good as it points out what wire is what, at least for the JDM vehicles.

Great news!!! the supplier got back to me and said that since a large portion has already been confirmed that he'll honor the buy... he said that normally he'd either cancel it or up the pricing, but that he's interested in hooking us up for the potential business down the line... I told them that it's very much appreciated and advised that I should be sending them payment by tomorrow evening.

Why tomorrow?

Well I just rcv'd email from teruyume and he's advised me that I should be receiving payment by tomorrow 09/07/06.. Pinstarz hasn't replied to pm's, so I'll be extending the wait for her too.

Again, thanks for everyone's patience in this matter, and I promise that it'll be worth the wait!!!!

Oh and if anyone else wants to get in, by all means feel free to add your name to the list and send payment by tomorrow.

Excellent News riceboy!

[Violin]

Thanks for the update and the legwork.

Great find GabL

How are we (or you) going to do the "transplant" ?

Are we splicing wires as per those instructions, or are we going to find some harness connector?

[tca4]

Cool, thanks for the updating riceboy =D

[Violin]

If the vendor could lay their hands on that connector, we could all surely use one.

530 yen = $4.57 US.

Can anyone speak Japanese well enough to contact Kenbow (or whoever maintains that site) and find out how we could get those connectors?

Can anyone offer at least a rough translation? http://www.k4.dion.ne.jp/~vitz/RStail.htm

Try this Translation tool
Not 100% acurate but it helps..

Actually one thing I can see from that page is that the LED taillight doesn't have the reflective plate, which might be required for North America regulation? So we might have to find some place to buy it and stick it on.
