I'm so excited, I just ordered JDM Heads, Highs, & Tails from Toyota! They should be here on Friday, and I can't wait to install them! I had to just randomly post this b/c noone at my work understands my love for this car! Peace out.

how much did your head lights run you for?

Well, i'm in the UK, so it was cheaper but converted. It was 53.60 pounds sterling so about $101.61/tail.

congrats

I'll take a set of headlights!

Edit: Maybe I should read carefully next time!
Tails were $101.61/tail
Heads were $290.86/light
Highs were $93.74/light

The heads were a bit expensive, and they're coming from Belgium to be delivered to me. Also, the total wound up being $1215.79. Obviously that's not the total of the parts, but there's a VAT here. It's a sort of tax, if I buy anything over 100 pounds sterling, I have the option of not paying the VAT (which is something like 17.5% or in my case, nearly $250). Unfortunately I am only part time (TDY) and do not have a SOFA (Standard of Forces Agreement) stamp; therefore do not beome eligible for removing the VAT! So, I do realize that I could have probably gotten the heads a bit cheaper, but, wtf I figure, might as well get them all together. The VAT sorta got me by surprise though, lucky me!

You may still be able to claim the VAT back another way have a read here http://www.london-guides.co.uk/pages.php?id=e0701050

The only way I may have been able to claim the VAT is that b/c i'm only temporary duty, and I don't technically live here. Honestly, I didn't mind much. I was getting a lot of $ for being here so I just splurged. I'm based at Menwith Hill, in Harrogate. Whereabouts are you?

Ahhhh your a US/UK/NATO intelligence worker then, cool.

I'm Based at RAF Credenhill in Hereford.

Ah, right. Yeah, i've never heard of that base, i'm a US contractor. Good stuff. So are you american then? Have you ever been to RAF Menwith Hill? If you get a chance, don't. It's so small, it's terrible.

Alright here's the update, I've got all my parts. They're packaged and ready to ship to the US. I've taken pics, but unfortunately for me I've packed my USB for my camera; fortunately for me nearly everyone knows what they look like! Will update when on car.
