Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Wow, Expensive!

I didn't know these lights were so damn expensive! I'd have a turbo before I had these, I emailed Brashboy They had this to say:

Celicatastrophe: Do you sell the headlights that you have shown on your blue celica?

Chiba(Brashboy): Hello, These goods were sold more than TRD. It is order production at present, and a time limit of delivery takes about two months. I can do a price of about 3000 dollars, too.Confirm detailed conditions if it is purchase hope.
Thank you!

Celicatastrophe: 3000 Dollars? Wow thats pretty high, What if I get a group buy of say 20 then what could you bring it down to?

Chiba: It is getting large because it is order production by TRD.Give me time a little because it tries to bargain about the price.
Thanks!

Celicatastrophe: Thanks Man!

wow, those look cool, but not $3000 cool

that is a ripoff.

this other website sells them to ...but for 4 grand

my prevous statement stands

I don't get what that price is all about? What the hell are they made of? For the price it better come with a hid set up, and about 1000 dollars worth of other extras because nothing can justify that price.

just get bats overlays... looks almost the same

a guy named tater on nc.org made them himself and he was going to be selling them, but i dont remember what happened. look around over there.

yea tater is on here too

thats what he makes, i think that looks sick as HELL on a black celica and its WAY WAY WAY WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY cheaper

veilside + those + black=

taters look better than brashboys

Those look really nice, but why so expensive?

agreed..silver doesnt this really make you want a celica?

yeah *sniff* *sniff*

they are expensive becuase they are compeltely jdm and very very very very very uncommon



iced- i sent my pic to jd for the photo album so now you have to do the same.

I believe Tater sells a set of his lights for $1800, Vatik is also making some but I dont think he is done yet and they will be around the 5-700 dollar range.

i should learn to fiberglass and make a few pairs.

free celica for me! w00t

Before everyone starts spending all their money on thoes lights wait until the first of the year, TYC has a wharehouse/office by my house and I was talking to them last week and they WILL have new headlights for the celi like the ones on the 03 civic.

sweet, lets hope this is true.

where is there office/warehouse? i didnt know they had one so near. someone should see they can get some kinda group buy from them? just an idea

i like em ... but i like the stock lights too.

I hope TYC comes out with something nice looking for the Celica. The stock Celica headlight is better looking than any of their offerings for Hondas thus far. Something that is paintable with the look of the DP headlight would be great. Im sick of building my dual-projector units, as they require too much time to craft and the price surely keeps them rare.

For 3k those better do more than just light up the road.

yeah... you better get fries with that 3 grand is ridiculous! a ferrari modena spider light assembly is 5 grand >.<

its not as if its some complex assembly! Its a mold that can be mass produced. And it looks as though you use the guts from the old light or for that price it comes with all new lights. I hear they come with a free platinum chain.

When I first read this I thought you were smoking crack or something."not complex"? I think there may be some confusion as to the types of Celica lights that I make.
The $1800 headlights as seen in my sig are complete dual projector assemblies that are time consuming and costly to craft. Link to DP headlights [valentino.ms]
The light that I believe you are thinking of has an inset that is installed in the stock headlight unit.These inserts go for $275 for the pair and are more practical for a daily driver as the projectors are protected from rock damage. Link to headlight insert [valentino.ms]

Yea I smoke crack then i go and buy 3000 dollar headlights. The price of yours seem more reasonable though, no doubt.

tater, all i can say is that your headlights look awesome! They look absolutely insane on black cars and i reckon would look great on darker color cars but wont look as good on lighter colord cars. like i was thinking of how they would look on a silver car and..hmm.. no way as nice as it would on black. my 2c
