Cool GROUP BUY: JDM Eyelids

Hello all, and welcome to the official JDM eyelids group buy order thread!

The Props
First of all, I would like to thank our fellow YarisWorld member Kenbow. He is also a moderator for the venerable VitzListe website, which a few of you might already know about. He has graciously offered his help in bringing some nice eyelids to his fellow Yaris/Vitz fans in the west.

The Problem(s)
  1. A few YW members (including myself) are in need of eyelids for our cars. While the JDM has had them for quite a while now, people in the western world haven't been so lucky in this area (a few less-than-flattering eyelids have emerged lately, but that's pretty much it).
  2. Another problem lies with the fact that we have no GB contacts for Canada, South-America, and/or Australia. This may be key to getting a good deal on these items, since shipping can (and very often does) get insanely expensive. If you would like to contribute in such a crucial and rewarding enterprise (for no monetary gain whatsoever unless somebody wants to donate to your cause, of course! -- just for the warm fuzzy feeling here, folks! ) let me know!
The Solution
After much searching of the InterWeb, fellow member hhcchen found a site called SecondStage that offered this elusive item. Alas, they refused to cater to costumers overseas, to the disappointment of many . After asking around for a while, I found Kenbow and after a quick PM he agreed to serve as our GB contact in Japan, so this issue is now resolved!

The Goods
There are two models available at this time. They will be referred to as models A and B from now on.

A for Awesome________________B for Bad-ass


The Colors
  • White(068
  • Silver(1E7)
  • Dark Gray(1F6)
  • Medium Silver(1F8)
  • Black(209
  • Super Red V(3P0)
  • Rose Metallic Opal(3P3
  • Dark Red(3Q8)
  • Beige(4S8)
  • Dark Green(6S3)
  • Light Green(6U0
  • Dark Blue(8P4)
  • Light Blue(8S9)
  • Blue(8T0)
  • Gray Blue(8T1)
The Prices
  • JDM originals *
    • Painted: US$130.00 plus shipping
    • Unpainted: US$105.00 plus shipping
  • High-quality replicas
    • Painted: US$75.00 plus shipping
    • Unpainted: US$55.00 plus shipping
* (NOTE: Prices for the JDM's are originally in Japanese Yen. I am using the currency converter from XE.com and rounding the results to come up with these figures. Prices are current as of 6/20/2007. They do not include shipping or PayPal fees)

The Rules (Suggestions for this section welcome)
  • The group buy will officially begin on Monday, June 11th
  • The item must be paid in full a before the deadline, which for now is set to July 20th (this date may change depending on various factors)
  • Payments will be made through PayPal only. This is mainly for speed/convenience, but also because it's easier to resolve disputes if a problem were to arise (knock on wood)
  • Members will need to make a decision on what they want before the deadline in order to prevent delays. We will not be made responsible if members change their mind after the order has been placed
  • JDM orders
    • Please keep in mind that we are just members and that we are doing this to help others out. We will be doing this out of our own time and we will not profit from it. If something is wrong with the shipment (i.e. a product is not what you ordered/is defective/is not an the exact color match), we will do what we can to help you out, but we cannot be made responsible if the seller screws up the order.
The Kinks
  • JDM orders
    • Shipping quotes are TBD at a later date, since we have yet to get the quote from the seller. I will edit this post as soon as I have this information available
    • We are still negotiating group buy discounts from SecondStage. Prices will then be modified accordingly and people that signed up will be made aware of this in a timely fashion
    • It has come to my attention (thanks eTiMaGo) that PayPal fees need to be considered as well. I will check this out with Kenbow, since apparently every country-specific PayPal account has a different rate when it comes to this. More info in the coming days!
  • All orders
    • Some of the color codes available may not be an exact match. If you would rather not risk it, we would suggest you get them unpainted and just color match them yourself.
    • We still require GB contacts in any of the destination countries. This helps out a bit with shipping charges. If you're willing to receive all the items and redistribute them to members in your country, lemme know and I'll hook you up. Please contact me if you're willing and able to do this ASAP!
The Group Buy Contacts
These are the YW members willing to help out to minimize the shipping costs for everyone else:
  1. Canada: None (yet)
  2. USA: redyaris (?)
  3. Mexico: Moi (me)
  4. South-America: None (yet)
  5. Australia: None (yet)
The List
Here are the people that have shown interest in the eyelids but are particularly interested in getting a good price. The members on this list wouldn't mind if replicas were made elsewhere.
  1. xCookiE (A-3P0)
  2. ASHRAF (A-209)
  3. eTiMaGo (A-3P0)
  4. paradigm (A-068)
  5. laszlo (?-209)
  6. yrsdrgn (A-068)
  7. tca4 (A-068)
  8. DMart (A-IF8)
  9. AlphaFox (A-IF8)
  10. paradigm (A-068)
  11. tca4 (A-068)
  12. redyaris (A-3P0)
  13. Kioshi (B-8T1)
  14. vacantj (S-068) <-- mold not done yet (sedan)
  15. vacantj (S-1E7) <-- mold not done yet (sedan)
  16. elsteverino889 (S-209) <-- mold not done yet (sedan)
  17. tk-421 (A-IF8)
  18. ... yourself?
The JDM List (pricier; more exclusive)
The people that have shown interest in JDM-only eyelids so far (even if that means paying a bit more):
  1. ism3t (A-3P0) <-- CF if possible
  2. JosephDoc (A-3P0) <-- CF if possible
  3. ... yourself?
The End

Feel free to use this as a color-matching guide, the JDM colors are different than the Thai ones, but you get the idea!
