Any interest in Raxiom Headlight group buy?

Hey guys, long time no post.

Anywho, I was wondering if there is any interest in some type of group buy on the painted and/or non-painted retro style Raxiom headlights for 05-09's.

If there turns out to be some interest I would be happy to call up and negotiate. That said, I've never organized a group buy before so any actual transaction help down the road would be super helpful.

Just interested to see if people like these as much as I do. Here's a link if you don't know what I'm talking about, though I'm sure most of you do.

Thanks

I do like the lights but I just don't have the cash for car goodies at this point in time.

I like the 2010 styled ones with the halo but im not sure how dark they are? if they aren't as smoked as the ones I got then I wouldn't be that interested. it would mess up my front blackout :\

I feel ya. Hence the group buy. Was going to try to get them to knock 25% off but who knows.

Just an FYI guy's if you're talking about the retro style , depending on the color of your car get the unpainted ones. I went through hell with them for my screaming yellow car , their painter does a really poor job of covering inside the vents and in the crevices around the lights. With yellow the black bleed through as a pea green color , this was due to the painter not insuring he had good coverage. They sent me 6 pairs that all had the same problem , they finally sent me a 7 pair unpainted and paid for me to have them painted properly locally.

This is really cool! Give us a count on the lights when you're ready and we'll definitely work with you.

Another one here who went through a PITA trying to get a painted set without defect issues as they could not produce one in-house for several months in my color. Not sure what was up with the other sets in stock as they just kept stringing me along telling me the next batch in my color would be better (which was never available), but mine had multiple fisheye defects in the finish. As with 05YellowGT, AM finally sent me an unpainted set that I had done locally on their dime... which by the way came out perfect the first time around.

I already bought a pair a couple of months ago. The paint on mine is fine. But it's hard to mess up black.

I haven't been on the forums recently. Were you able to set up the group buy? If so, is there still time to join it?
