At work I might be able to get about 120 razo aluminum shift knobs, and about 34 sets of ipf foglights. I have inspected these parts aand they are of great quality. I offered my boss 400$ after he offered it all to me for 500. He said he will sleep on it. What do you think? Should I do it? If I do im pretty much buying these parts for a couple dollars each. Im pretty sure I can sell then for at least 20ea. (shift knobs) and 75+ for the high quality fogs. Should I drop the 400$?

klug, you'll make a good profit(4500$+), def. go for it. look at ebay right now, the real razo's go for 20-40, can't find much on the foglights but for my estimate i used 50$. it'll prob take a few months but definetly worth it.
i might even want a set of fogs. oh and helite, he lives in cali, not near this side of the bay.

Im not sure what color they light up. I would assume that these lights are pretty badass...Look at the color of the lense. It looks like a real high quality fog...In the pic it looks like the lense is yellow up top and blue/red/purp on the bottom but when you look at the light straight on its oil/water color in the middle and yellow on sides...
On a side note, Its 12 at night here and me and a friend just got his illlllllll 240 running. Let it idle for 20 mins to add coolant (woke all neighbors up) then took her for a spin and blew an ic pipe on the freeway.... Just as we scrambled to fix it we got it running and pulled onto the highway...Just as a highway patrol passed....for some reason he didnt even stop...He woulda been pissed if he did this thing is seriously worked.

Well I got one more set of the fogs. These things go for about 169.99 for the 200 version, and I think the 210's are better. I am willing to ship these things out and am taking offers for 100$ Plus shipping. Paypal is fine.
These lights are very equal to a piaa fog light.
The lights are IPF Multi 210 dichroic mirror halogen lamp.
Super J Beam 55W/85W
I just hooked my good friend up with some and was able to get one more set from work. These things are insane.
First of all they are very bright.
Shines a sick yellow/blue tinted light.
We installed them on a 98 jeep down under the bumper and they worked 4x better then the headlights...
Pointed at the right angle these things were not blinding at all.
When we researched these things we found out that they are an extremely good light, so my friend bought them on the spot. He wanted to install them right away. It took us 2 hours flat and we had them connected. The directions were in english and the quality of the kit is insane. Every part is quality and it supplies with everything you need but tools and some electrical tape.
If you want them ill ship them for 125. I think there worth about 180
Let me know! They are sick...
Cant put them on my jetta because I have a factory fog. I need some money for a new 4/3 wetsuit for baja.

Knowing what you paid for them who in their right mind would pay $125 for them?

If he ONLY bought the set of fog lights, for the higher price of $500, then he payed just under $15 for each set... And that is figuring that all the shift knobs were given for free. Even if he sells each set of fogs for $60, he's still quadrupling what he paid for them. You throw in the shift knobs, and he pays under $10 for each set of fogs..... I'm just saying that it is kinda ballsy to tell everyone what you bought them for, and then turn around 3 days later and offer them up for sale at a 1200% price increase. I'm not completely making this personal, just horrible business ethics

I agree completely with you in the sense that telling everyone how cheap he got them wasent a great move kyle, but just charging 60 would still be a deal for everyone who bought them. But since nobody seems to know how much they are worth they could be 75 new which would be a total rip off at 60, considering what he paid.

Who's being cheap? I'm merely questioning his business practices.

Yea, not the best of business practices... that and the fact that he told us we would get a special deal on them for being njdsm members, yet he has them advertised on vwvortex for the same $100 + shipping. Some discount :roll:
