Default Tail light assemblies excellent deal - Vertex

My tail lights have several tiny cracks all over and I have been thinking about replacing them since I got the car...finally found an excellent deal at VERTEX...$89/each...just a heads up if you need a pair...

Chris,

I think the one I have right now have a crack on them... (not sure) from the accident. If so I will be getting a new one. I'll see my car tomorrow... so I'll let you know.

Oh wow, I thought for some reason you got the car back a long time ago! You still are without it?

I'm in for a GB of these tail lights. My left side is cracked. No biggie (been that way since I bought the car) but replacing it (at a reasonable price) would be nice.

Hi Rezal...if I were you, I would not wait for a group buy to grab these tail lights for $89...I went there this afternoon to pick them up and I was afraid to get some "generic" stuff but I got the correct "made in Germany" Hella 993 tail lights...

Call JOSH 1(866) 668-0660 as I ask him to give special attention to Rennlist members...including massage and manicure ...and better yet...VERTEX is a Rennlist sponsor!!!

Check the pic from the actual product...

Do yourself a favor and call Sunset Porsche (Oregon) before you pull the switch. I got my Euros there. Wholesale plus 15% and shipping. You will find that you would be hard pressed to find a better deal anywhere for Porsche parts.

I did Alan...check the price quote from Bob McCarthy:

Hi Pedro
Foglights are $173.24 each in stock
US tailight assemblies are $132.51 in stock
All plus freight to you
Thanks
Bob

Vertex has them for $89...Sunset was $132.51...in this particular one you would have lost some of your Euros!
