i've been looking at the US honda badges & they look to small..help?? anyone??
I can get a hold of these badges if you would like them. I would order them with all the JDM clear corner group buy. I'm still waiting for more responses to close off the group buy. But e-mail me with your request and i'll add your items to my order. Let me know what year you want the badges from, the kind of emblem, and the area the emblem resides on the vehicle.

I'm not a G1 owner, but that price seems kinda steep. I just want to look out for my fellow Legend owners.... I just ordered some EDM clear corners for my coupe, and they were only $165, so I don't see why the JDM G1 ones would be so much more expensive. Are the G1 ones glass, that is my only idea of why they could possibly be more expensive (g2 ones are plastic). Later.

I have a strange request but could you get me just the drivers side corner lens? I had both sides clear and one got broken in an accident. If you can get this 1 lens let me know and please quote me a price. Thank you!

G1 legends parts cost more since they are older and harder to locate parts, especially if they are brand new, in this case they are brand new. EDM parts are normally cheaper than JDM parts, but market price for this item is around $250 on many websites because of shipping costs from japan and a a really small supply of this item.

Is the corner lens you had JDM with the marker light sticks out a little bit? See the the link I had posted for pictures of an auction taht I had posted a while ago. If similar I can get that part for you. Send me your info for year of car, sedan or coupe, and engine size and I will put you on the group buy , but for one corner lense only.

If that's the case, then why is it gonna be 200 bucks for a pair? Is it shipping? If that's the case, shipping can't be that expensive.

Honda co. japan (Gunma perfecture) is charging per pair $35.00 USD via EMS japan. Item cost is around $160-$165 USD. This is the only honda co. in japan that I have been able to find an ample amount. Oringal cost for the items would of been around $150 per pair but they have added service charge to gather the amount as an SPO (special order). Remember that in japan everyone ususally buys a new car every 6 years because the car manufacturer stops making parts for those vehicles after that time period. That's why you see so many used parts in japan, but rarely any new parts for G1 honda legends. These parts are not produced anymore in japan and if you do find them, you would be very lucky to.

I wouldn't buy them personally for $200.00 US. Isn't that the same price Option Auto Salon were selling them for?

Right now there isn't enough people signed up to reach my possible buy for each pair which we are looking for 180 USD. I know optauto has them for that price not including S&H. I'm still in the works of gathering all the people to get a discount from the honda factory for those who have not yet participated in the group buy. For those who do not know yet if we can get 15 or so people on this group buy price can be reduced hopefully to 185 or 180. Only those currently part of this group buy so far has this info. But for those who do not know yet, know you do. If you are interested, i'm communicating via e-mail as well.

Let Options Auto Salon know that they are overcharging then too. Since they have it at a higher price. And I wish I can get them for 30.00. Then everyone by now would have these clear corners then, right? You can't even by the JDM bumper signal for a G1 for 30.00. Not even 30.00 for one bumper signal. I paid about 110 for a piar of clear bumper signal from japan. Now imagine the price for the corner lamps. Much more than 30!!!

I cleared out my own bumper signals by carefully breaking and removing the orange plastic. Looks HELLACOO... anyways. I just want one driver clear corner.
thanks for the hook up.

I had originally cleared out mine that were the OEM for the legend. It came out really nice but the lenses were scuffed and scratched that I decided to get the JDM ones. I like the JDM ones because they come with this chrome ring around the bumer signal. The chrome goes well with the chrome trim on the G1 legend. In regards to one clear corner for driver side, e-mail me with your year of car, sedan or coupe, 2.0L 2.5L or 2.7L engine and what you want to order for your car. Thank you.

Sincerely,
BigYG1@aol.com
